In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, green_phantom wrote: I just purchased the SX Tech Tool Kit PLUS a week ago and it arrived by mail on Monday. I just started programming today. I was trying to download an LED-Flasher SX/B program and this is only my first time. I only used the two SX chips that arrived in the kit. I have a sinking feeling I may have to shovel up $500 for a professional universal programmer and do all my programs in assembly language and possibly abandon programming in SX/B code. Another possibility could be the computer and the 9-pin serial port, although the system hardware management dialogue windows detect no device conflicts. I sure am off to a very disappointing start. I tried to program the chip(s) on a breadboard, to no avail. So the biggest concern for factory defects may be centered on the SX Key.
