The SX List is a well aged resource for those getting into the SX. It will be years before this blog could ever match the amount of information that is on that site. I was browsing the Parallax forums and I saw a link to a cool tool at the SX List. The tool converts PIC asm (MPASM) to SX asm (SASM). How neat is that? If you are familiar with Pic microcontrollers and asm, then this tool will help you to convert over and learn about the SX.

Check out the tool here.
