Update: I have now modified six more Propeller Proto Boards to add 48 more cores to the Brain Blob. I only need to add the interfacing and the solderless breadboards. This will bring up the 33 cores to 81 cores/computers. Not too shabby for some robotical brain computing. Modifications include the power circuits to reduce power loads and soldering in the pin sockets. It's a lot of soldering work and so I've apportioned it across several days. I now wonder if the power LED can be rewired into a port LED but that's another issue.
THE BIG BRAIN is the World's Fastest Growing Brain - one of the largest in existence. Built at Humanoido LABS and fully operational in 2011, this semi-cognizant machine with over 100,000 processors is based on Parallax Propeller chips and technology expansions. Join us in this exciting science adventure as the BIG BRAIN MACHINE continues to explore the Universe, creates its own projects and expands its dominion into the world and beyond.

12-27-2010, 11:54 AM I think the big push after the Brain Blob hardware is completed and operational, is software that has a degree of self reasoning power. It doesn't need to be an Einstein but some intelligence greater than a bug would be appreciated. Memory needs to be added, as so far the sum total is reference eeprom at 20 x 32KRAM. Propeller can access PC and the PC has TeraBytes of operating storage. Another new option is to use a server to provide wireless data storage. Web access can provide a knowledge base to work with.
