What do I need to get started ?

Carlinux

Hi,
I'm new to the SX chips and I'd like to know what I need to get started.

Today I ordered a SX28, SX Key and a 4,20 and 50mhz resonator. I also have a PDB for my BS2 and it has a place for the SX28 on it.

It's for a small project that I already completed with a BS2px but it's expensive for what I need (read the value of a memsic2125 and activate a Reed relay accordingly).

What else would you recommend ?

Thanks for your help !

If you are comfortable using the BS2, then I would suggest the latest SX/B compiler/editor. Moving further once you are comfortable with the SX/B you might want to explore the true power of the SX and programming with the SX assembly language.

Thanks Beau.

I learned the assembly language at school back in 91 but I never used it since. I saw in the SX/B compiler that you can see your basic code translated in assembly before uploading it into the processor. It will be good way to refresh my skills.

For the hardware part. Do I need more of what I've mentioned ?

Thanks

"I saw in the SX/B compiler that you can see your basic code translated in assembly before uploading it into the processor.
