Hi, 

Many years ago I had a Basic Stamp which I had a lot of success with. However, for the last year or so I have been playing with AVR's and with a lot of help from many people have made some great projects. My current project is a Head Tracker for VR and I have 3 accelerometers, 3 gyros and 2 magnetometers with an 8 channel 16 bit ADC and an Atmega16. I am also using an HD44780 compatible LCD to aid the development. I am only just now integrating the data from all the devices and I have a lot of numbers to crunch. I am thinking that the AVR will not be fast enough for what I want, hence my search for a faster chip. 

I have spent the last few hours reading about the SX and they sound great, but I am wondering how simple it will be for me to move to the SX chip. What I need is serial communications @115200bps using a Max232, SPI interface to the ADS8344 16bit ADC, an EEPROM to store calibration data and the LCD for use during development. Would this be a big task to set up? Any thoughts, advice or recommendations will be greatly appreciated.
