Just a super quick note- for those who have asked "how does one program the Propeller chip?"
The toolchain for this awesome 8-core microcontroller can be downloaded from the vendor's support link, here: https://www.parallax.com/downloads/prop ... n-assembly
The toolchain is also available for Mac, Linux, and even Raspberry Pi! You can find these downloads here: https://www.parallax.com/downloads/prop ... a-software
Here's the main page with more information on the Propeller chip itself: https://www.parallax.com/microcontrollers/propeller
Also, here is the open source Propeller object library- where people share code they've written for this chip: http://obex.parallax.com/
Enjoy!
