To get back on track, maybe I should provide a breif outline of what is to come. I was thinking the next steps I should show is how to write your first program for the SX. There will be several posts looking at the hardware and the software for a couple simple programs that light an LED or read a button. I think I have some new ideas and content to add to the standard “hello world” programs.

After the simple hardware/software examples I think it will be a good idea to start a small project. Often times I learn by example and applications. Having a problem and solving it is an excellent way to learn.

After reading Nuts & Volts, Servo, Elektor, Everyday Practical Electronics, and similar magazines, I have a small list of ideas for projects. What would you like to see in an SX beginner project? Let me know in the comments. We will walk together step by step through the design, fabrication and assembly of the project.

Maybe this isn’t exactly SX Micro related, but Old Bit Collector on the Parallax forums is organizing an expo in Norwalk, Ohio. The expo topic? Why the Parallax Propeller of course. Brilldea will be attending the expo, so if you are near by, come on out and check out the action. We can talk Propeller or SX.

For those that have been reading the past posts, I am sorry for the delay for new posts. I had a business trip that was extended and left me tired each night - too tired to write. I hope to get some more posts cooked up before I head for a business trip to the USA.
