willy1067,

Certainly an SX chip can likely to be programmed to perform the tasks you describe.  Yet I must question whether you really need to learn an entirely new (to you) micro-controller simply because you need more I/O pins.  If you can program your existing BS2 to perform steps 2 and 3 but just need more I/O pins there are other options.  I2C I/O expansion chips and even shift registers with latches might allow you to control more I/O lines without adding (and possibly needing to learn) another micro-controller.  It seems like you might do well to consider those options first.

With that being said, if you really want to learn to program the SX, "Welcome to our forum!!!"
