BASIC Stamp users:
If you've ever wanted to try the SX chip with our free SX/B compiler, now is the opportune time to give it a shot without spending lots of money. On our home page www.parallax.com you will see that we have two SX tools - the SX28 Proto Board ($9.95) and the SX Blitz Programmer ($19.95). The SX/B compiler is·installed with the SX-Key IDE and it is totally free. The SX-Key IDE·also has a built-in SXSIM it you want to try everything for free (including SX/B) before you spend any money.
The SX is a very high-speed processor, running 50 MIPS. Many BASIC Stamp codes are quite portable to the SX and the support on the SX forum is very good.
Sincerely,

Actually, source level debugging allows the programmer to single-step through their program and see the values of all of their variables at each step (via the hook up through the SK-Key to their terminal). One can also set "breakpoints" in their code at which the program will stop and allow the same variable inspection. The programmer can then change the "live" variables and set the code running (or single-stepping) from the point that it stopped. It is a great debugging tool and a great way for beginners to get a good picture of what's happening each step of the way.
Now, if I only had time to play with one...

However, with SXSIM alot of debugging can be done without any hardware at all. But if you need real-time debugging, get the SX-Key.
