This is a tutorial on programming the Propeller microcontroller using both the C programming language and the Propeller Assembly (PASM) language. For many years after its introduction, the Propeller could be programmed in Spin and PASM; more recently, Parallax (the company behind the Propeller) has made a C compiler available. Spin and C are high-level interpreted and compiled languages, respectively. PASM is a low-level language , with a one-to-one correspondence between an instruction and the Propeller’s machine code.
