Hello PropJr?
CounterRotatingProps,
Ken's response to my message made it clear that there are no plans for a PropJr.  However, the Prop 2 will have a smaller die size, so it may cost less than the Prop 1.  There are a lot of PIC chips available, and maybe Parallax could resell one of them and provide support and tools similar to the SX.
I assume Parallax will continue to sell the stamp, which uses the SX chip.  Most companies that face an EOL on a part either make a lifetime buy to cover the expected life of the product, or they redesign the produt for a new part.  So it seem that Parallax would have to redesign the stamp to use a PIC chip at some point.  I think the older Stamps used PIC chips, so maybe they'll go back to an older design.
Dave
