Jon - as you know, you're one of my heroes so I say this with a little caution.

The information for the SX has been around and the support has been terrific. When I first made the transition, the emphasis was still on Assembler even though there was a good help file for SX/B. Everything was there but somehow it was all a bit fragmented. The tons of good Stamp2 stuff, particularly your Stampworks book made the transition easier and has also made a huge difference for me.

Now the new revised SX/B help file, particularly with the PDF has reach some sort of Knowledge Critical Mass where it's as useful to me as my much thumbed Stampworks. Yes, 90% is just reworked and I can't put my finger on what makes the big difference but the help file has just gone from good to GREAT.

You are so right though, one learns about microcontrollers by doing. This is one subject where academic knowledge means little without experience.

So anyone wanting to get into programming the SX should use the advice in the old NIKE advert  - JUST DO IT! -
