Paul - thanks for the reply. As I've been doing some more research I've been able to find some very interesting projects on DangerousPrototypes(.com). One of which is a light implementation of the Arduino SDK(From what I gather an Object for the Propeller IDE that allows for Arduino-like syntax for basic I/O tasks) as well as a number of other interesting projects and references. I [should] probably start with Arduino, as I had planned to but I don't have an Arduino. I have 2 Propellers. I've also seen some interesting stuff about interfacing Arduino with Propeller. The cool thing about the QuickStart board is that their are 8 resistive buttons and 8 LEDs but also access to all 32 pins. I guess I'll give the propeller a shot, if it proves too complicated I can always get an Arduino and hang onto it for later.
