SXers:
I see that Lauren has put Parallax's remaining 95 SX Blitz (serial) units on sale at $19.95 while supplies last. We need to clear these out before the new USB version arrives in our inventory next week. Combined with the SX28 Proto Boards and SX/B, getting started has never cost less than it does today.
These will be out of stock by next week while we launch the new USB version. Some of you won't want USB, so this will be your last chance to get some of the serial SX Blitz versions.
These are also a value if you need to do some low-volume production SX chip programming.
Sincerely,
Ken Gracey

I'm waiting patiently since I would love a USB version of the SX-Key or SX-Blitz...

Experience level:
[noparse][[/noparse] ] Let's connect the motor to pin 1, it's a 6V motor so it should be fine.

The SX-Key is still in design, so we're not much further along than we were a few months ago. We've finished prototyping, and hope to be in production shortly. This particular change proved to be quite complex. We had to accommodate a new clock generator, make changes to the IDE to support the hardware, add the USB FTDI circuitry, and provide it all in an RoHS package. Honestly, I'd hope to have them by the first of 2007 at this point.
I'll be sure to push the right buttons this afternoon to see if we can move this hardware forward. My SX-Key team is spread out around the world at the moment.
I want this completed as badly as you do.

I think I will go ahead and buy the USB to serial (RS-232) adapter and use it with my SX-Key in the mean time...
