Okay, I'm new to this type of controller, and I need a few questions answered.·

1. Am I able to use PBASIC to program the controllers?

2. Is there any separate circuitry on the development boards to program it, or can I connect the SX key directly to the right pins?

3. Is the pin setup the same as the Basic stamps?

4. Is it reprogrammable

    1) You can use SX/B which is fairly close to PBASIC. Look in the SX/B Help file at the examples.

    2) If you have the SX-Key you just need to connect the OSC1 and OSC2 pins on the SX chip to the pins on the SX-Key. Make sure you have 10K pull-up resistor on the MCLR pin.

    3) You can use INPUT and OUTPUT like PBASIC. To set a whole port is different though.

    4) Of course. It has flash memory.
