Parallax Propeller Code

The Parallax Propeller is programmed in a combination of SPIN (similar to Python) and assembly. I choose this microcontroller, because ...

... it has 8 cores. Fast enough to generate all the signals, control the DACs, generate a VGA signal, control a mouse or keyboard and communicate with a PC at the same time.
... no programming adapter or extra software is needed for programming. Everything is included in the control software.

Core usage

Core 0 - Initialization and GUI
Core 1 - Communication protocol
Core 2 - VGA output
Core 3 - Keyboard / mouse input
Core 4 - Connection to DA-converters
Core 5 - Voltage measurement and processing
Core 6 - Function generator
Core 7 - unused
