Trust me, the Prop-SX was cool but the HC-8+ kicks its butt up and down the street all day every day. Its faster, has a ton more memory, and far easier to program as you can take advantage of objects (code modules) that I and others have written without fear of interrupts (they don't exist in the Propeller) and dealing with all those nasty bits.

Join the party, it's fun!

Did you see these cool displays that use the HC-8+?

And here's a bit of video of the "spell globe" in action (not final animation)

In the spell globe the HC-8+ is controlling 94 RGB LEDs (strip purchased from Minion's Web) and six high-brightness "lightning" channels (the supports holding the outer shells).
