3.1.2.2 Parallax Serial Terminal
The Parallax Serial Terminal is a piece of software which can help when debugging a
program. The Propeller can send information to it through the USB port, using the
“Parallax Serial Terminal” object which is included in the Propeller Tool. The information
is sent to the Parallax serial terminal through the same USB cable which is used to
download code to the Propeller.
The Propeller Object Exchange is an online repository for community written objects for
the Propeller chip. The objects have been written by Parallax engineers and customers
and are for use by the Propeller community [23]. The files are provided under the MIT
license, meaning they are free to use and modify, without limitations, providing the
license is left in the code [24].
3.1.3 Code Structure
The Information System’s code is structured with the top object file referring to each
object separately, as shown in figure 3.1.3. The diagram also shows how each object
links together and explains what each one does.
