Adafruit Propeller Platform USB entices DIY electronics builders, 'Gadget Gangsters' at large

[/img]It's days like today where you realize just how badly you need
to scratch that DIY itch, and Adafruit's newest two circuit boards
couldn't be landing at a more opportune time. Both of these bad boys
are classified as Gadget Gangsters, which makes 'em viable for
purchase without any additional investigation. Should you choose to,
however, we'll have you know that the Propeller Platform USB is an
open-source platform for building your own electronics projects with a
new eight-core Parallax Propeller chip; the ProtoPlus model adds
video / audio support as well as a "prototyping area." Tutorials are
available in the source links for those inexperienced with Spin, and
at just $50 / $15 (respectively), we'd say they're well worth the
purchase if you're looking to simply get your toes wet. Better known
as "become hopelessly addicted to modding" 'round these parts.
