As you know, JB and I worked at Parallax when the Propeller was developed, and it is the heart of our "big" products. If you learn to hack the HC-8+ you too could do cool stuff with RGB LEDs using my WS2812 driver.

Here's what my friend Rick Galinson did with my driver:

If you pop by our booth at Transworld you can see the HC-8+ in action controlling those LEDs and many more things.

Now that is cool. Now you see the power of the propeller chip and what it really can do.
