Hi guys,
 

I've had my SX lite kit a couple weeks and just cracked it this week to play.

I'm getting a wee bit confused as to how I 'should' be trying to learn this thing!

 

Almost all the examples I download are in SRC files (assembler).  The neumonics don't quite make sense to me yet, but it's like learning linux...they'll eventually make sense!

The help file seems to all be in SX/B with PBasic-like instructions.  These seems like the obviously way to transition to the SX.  Similar instructions that should make it somewhat transparent to switch over.

Am I right with this?

 

The SX's are no doubt, more for the advanced user....but I do love taking babysteps to get in to the groove and, maybe my patience isn't what it used to be but, I haven't been able to find as much of the basic 'handholding' docs that the stamps have.

Does someone have a surefire resource to get me going (a 2x4 maybe? haha).

 

My initial plan is to strip out the time from a GPS 'RMC stream....but I notice there's no WAIT modifier for the SERIN (SX/B?) command.

Do I then just build an array and scan through it?

 

Thanks guys
