Parallax’s BlocklyProp is a visual programming language based on Google Blockly, but customized for the ActivityBot 360° and the Propeller Activity Board. BlocklyProp is ideal for teaching programming concepts, generating code which compiles and is free of syntax errors.
Parallax believes in the genius in all of us. Whether a simple project or an intricate invention, we provide electronic hardware, software, and tutorials to amplify your potential.
Why is a folded piece of metal important to the Parallax educational robotics program? Parallax has produced well over 1.5 million chassis of this style. It’s fame began in 1997 as part of a weekend experiment to mount the “Board of Education” on a robot chassis to what we named the Boe-Bot.
The Propeller Tool is development software built by Parallax for the Propeller 1 and 2 microcontrollers. It supports coding in Spin (high-level) and PASM (low-level Propeller Assembly) languages – the native languages of the Propeller built specifically for the hardware and its features.
How Parallax Began At the age of 13 in 1981, Parallax founder, Chip Gracey had his first major introduction to programming and electronics: the Timex Sinclair computer.
