yes, OBEX is an excellent source for free applications and code snippets.
one wire communication like Probus is an excellent and performant approach for a link. I have to think about master - slave or maybe better a peer to peer approach for the PGen pulse generator application ... we shall see ...

This is not Propeller, but it shows where the journey goes:

more and more complex and powerful systems reorganizing themselves ...

@gunther,
Have you read this for multi propeller connections?
Propbus 1 wire
OBEX

Interesting board!

That OneWire communication was great findings, Webmug! Kudos!

A bus structure fitting to a battle-plane, a tank or a submarine should be able to cope with a laboratory environment ...

there are means for multiple masters in the protocol and so I will dig deep into that stuff to grasp some more information details.

autonomous systems need to be time synchronized!

That's awesome Gunther.

I totally agree, Jeff.

programming those applications is not too easy today but there are powerful tools avaliable today to support the programmer.

but using those applications is really easy today. so nobody should hesitate to apply these software based applications in his lab.


it´s the same situation like in the 80s when the personal computer came up at the horizon, some jumped in quickly and for others it took years to make a timidly approach ...
today almost everyone is involved and this forum would be impossible without.

so don´t be afraid to use that stuff. it´s maximum power and versatility at your finger tips ;)
in fact all digital scopes, many power supplies and most other laboratory instruments today make good use of a microcontroller ...

and while we are relaxing on a couch watching tv in the evening there are 2 microcontrollers doing the hard work for us ... one inside the flat screen tv and the other - more important one - in the remote ... and maybe one more in the cellphone for the pizza boy :D
they are the invisible heros of today :idea:


so stay tuned - soon I will start a little series of videos showing the ease of use for the PGen pulse generator application ...

It´s modular, flexible design and it´s powerful but easy to learn programming language make it extremely useful for real time experiments.

With PGen 2.0 modular pulse generator I have added another laboratory tool to the scientific community:
