Initial development of the Power Cube's Microcontroller is being laid out on a [http://www.parallax.com/Store/Microcontrollers/PropellerChips/tabid/142/CategoryID/18/List/0/SortField/0/Level/a/ProductID/332/Default.aspx Propeller Chip - 40-Pin DIP Chip] and unlike the Arduino that so many have become familiar with, this carries 8 processors that are referred to as "cogs" and handle events simultaneously while passing memory read/write access off in a rotational pattern between the 8 cogs.

	The chip carries it's contents in RAM and starts at Cog 0 at it's boot sequence where it loads the image into RAM from the EEPROM. Programs can be written in Assembly, or the "SPIN" language. Cogs are able to kick off child processes and manage cog processes.		The chip carries it's contents in RAM and starts at Cog 0 at it's boot sequence where it loads the image into RAM from the EEPROM.
