Does anyone know how to set a default directory within the editor so that when you go to OPEN a file it defaults to the SXB director where the files are stored?
[b][u]I think the IDE defaults to where you last loaded a file from.[/u][/b] 

 

I also wanted to know if there is a simple way to show on the PC Monitor the status of your pins or do we have to use the debug editor?

[b][u]Not that I know of...[/u][/b]

 

Last questions - what is the best resonator to use for general purposes?  If you have the SX set for 4 mhz clock as in some of the examples, can you use a 50 mhz resonator and still only have the 4 mhz speed as defined in the set up of the program?

[b][u]For general purpose I recommend the 20MHz resonator. It's fast enough to do almost anything, but does use alot of current like the 50MHz. If you have your program setup for the 4MHz and install a 50MHz, the time will be WAY off (if it even runs at all).[/u][/b]

 

As you can tell, I am new and more familar with the Basic Stamp than the SX chips.  I like the idea of saving money for hobby purpose designs and am trying to learn to program the SX using SXB.
