Brilldea to be at the Propeller Expo

August 11th, 2008 Timothy D. Swieter Posted in News, other mico No Comments »

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.

Chip Gracey Interview

July 26th, 2008 Timothy D. Swieter Posted in News, Unrelated, other mico 1 Comment »

If you have been around the Parallax community much, then you have heard of Chip. He is one of the founders of Parallax and the President. He also created the Propeller Microcontroller with his bare hands. OK, maybe that was over board because he didn’t use his bare hands, but this guy is a master mind and did much of the work himself.

I see an interview with Chip is posted on You Tube. The interview talks about Parallax and the Propeller, so it isn’t exactly SX related, but good geek watching none the less! The interview is in multiparts so be sure to see all of it which is about an hour long.

Enjoy.

SX/B Book by Jon Williams

July 19th, 2008 Timothy D. Swieter Posted in News, Tool No Comments »

Jon Williams (aka JonnyMac of the Parallax Forum) is still working on his SX/B book. You can find a draft copy of the parts I and II in this thread. From what I read the book is still a ways out from being finished, but will be updated to match the new SX/B 2.0 compiler release. For now you can watch the thread and stay updated on news to come.
