FEBRURARY Entries:
- http://www.sxlist.com/ubicom/lib/io/dev/lamp/digilight.htm Timothy Stranex
[perspex at dream.za.net] send along his "first ever microcontroller
project." His Digilight "...changes the intensity of 6 lamps using pwm, the
pwm values are changed through an RS232 port. The lamps could be coloured
Red, Green and Blue and create some nice colour sequences for discos (and
for my imax-in-house project)." Timothy hopes to expand this project into
the Ethernet demo board

- http://www.sxlist.com/ubicom/lib/io/osi2/Morse.htm Guenther Daubach
http://www.g-daubach.com/ sent a very nice "description and the source code
for a Morse code keyer using an SX 28 device." Guenther is obviously a pro
and admits that he is writing a book on the SX chips for publication later
this year. I'll be looking to buy a copy when it comes out if it has more
projects like this on in it!

Winner: Timothy Stranex. Tim has one SV-TEHS SX DEBUG and an SX Ethernet
Demo on the way. That is a complete $350 development system with In Circuit
Debugging, an SX 52, a RealTec Embedded Ethernet Adapter, switches, lights,
connectors, etc.. on a board with prototyping space. EVERYTHING needed for
embedded development with your PC.

Januarys Winner was:

display by Timothy L. Hosey

There are no entries yet for March! Just get me some code:

THE SXLIST EMBEDDED STARTER CONTEST

For the new year, my goal is to enable YOU to get involved in SX embedded
microcontroller development especially if:

* You have worked with other microcontrollers and are looking for something
- - a bit faster ( 50-75 MIPS Not just MHz, MIPS!),
- - lower power use in low speed modes,
- - where you can watch it run (on-chip ICD),
- - and crank out new solutions with the same hardware (virtual
peripherals).

* You have time but not necessarily money. Students, mature kids, hobbyists,
retired persons and devoted computer enthusiasts. SX processors are one of
the lowest cost systems to get started with where you actually get a
complete and professional development environment.

* You like to learn new things but don't necessarily know anything about
computers. There is no better way to learn than to just get started...

To make this happen, starting in January 2002:

- I will give away at least one development system a month to the most
deserving applicant (in my humble opinion) who has written an original SX
program and is ready to debug it.

- I will give away Ethernet SX Stack Evaluation Kits like the ones used in
the SX FAST EMBEDDED ETHERNET contest to anyone who presents me with source
code for an SX stack application that is ready to try on the internet.

- I will answer questions, provide resources and make suggestions as
needed...

What do you have to do?

Just check out the site at
http://www.sxlist.com and then send me comments, questions, your ideas or
the one thing I REALLY want: CODE... SX code that needs a chip to run on and
a debugger to help clean it up.
