You'll want to use 0.1uF caps close to each of the four Vdd pins. Unfortunately SparkFun's <a href="https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11525" rel="nofollow">Propeller bob</a> doesn't have these bypass caps. The Propeller's PLL circuit is very sensitive to current running through them. The Vdd pins all need to be powered at the same voltage to prevent damage. The best way to keep all the Vdd pins at the same voltage is to provide each pin with its own bypass cap.<p>I'm a big fan of the Propeller myself. It makes a great controller chip for robotic projects.</p></p>
