Doc,

before answering your message, I must say that I'm shocked about the latest breaking news I just watched at TV about the new terrorist attack in Bali. When will this bombing ever end !!!

Good to hear that you could watch an exciting soccer game - sorry that "you" lost. Sometimes, it is a good idea to take an "out time", like watching a soccer game, when concentrating on learning something new.

I'm glad that you like the tutorial. I suggest that you work through it to get "warmed up" a bit, but then think about a larger project you want to do with an SX, and try go get it done. To my own experience, this is the best way to  "boost up" your learning curve. I was working on a project that I planned to build around PIC controllers when I first learned about the SXes. I decided to switch to SXes to get that project done. I can tell you, this was hard work. But  in the end, I made it, and I learned a lot about the SX controllers (please don't ask me to publish the code I wrote at that time), just by "fighting" through this project.

This is similar to learning C or any other programming language. It's quite easy to print out "Hello world" (similar to blinking an LED with the SX) - but to really dive into C, do a "real" project.

Having said that, I wish you much success in mastering the SX. I'd be glad to give you a helping hand if I can.
