In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, Jon Williams wrote:

Nobody said we didn't agree -- it's just not as easy as some would think.  Even apparently simple projects require engineering resources; in this case we have to layout a Stamp-like module that would allow you to reprogram it.  But then, there are other questions: Do we maintaint the quasi-RS232 port on pins 1-4 or is that where we connect an SX-Key?  Do we put a fixed resonator on the module or a socket so you can select speed?  If the latter, is there even room given the other components on the module?

Please understand that we work very hard to deliver what our customers ask for; and most of the time we succeed.  Sometimes things are tough tough, and no amount of criticism is going to make our task any easier.

Perhaps we can end this dicussion here.  This forum is, afterall, intended to support the SX and not to debate the relative merits of other products.

"So why not build your own module?"

For all the reasons I already gave.

"All the parts are available ... why wait for us to do it?"

I'm not waiting for you to do it. If I needed something like this and it wasn't available from Parallax I'd look into my options.

Like I have said, it was just a suggestion. Obviously one you don't agree with which is fine.
