Yes, but the you have to invert it - this is well documented. Shwan's suggestion is good. There's also a great piece of software called the SXSIM, it's a sticky thread too, but here it is anyway:

If nothing else, run this thing just to see what is possible with well-written software --- it's a great learning tool and helps with debugging. And you don't even need an SX to try it.

When you put together your starter kit, make sure it has, or you get, either the SX-key or the SX-blitz.  You need one of these to get the program into the SX.  The SX-Key costs more because it has more features and supports debugging. The SX-blitz doesn't do debugging, but costs less - it's more for loading SX's in a production-like way. I'd just get the SX-Key and be done with it.

You certainly can replace all of your stamp stuff with SXes, but you will have to translate all the code, and some of the logic. SX/B is Basic-like (Maybe that's what the "B" stands for??) so the transition won't be too bad.  

RE - house lighting: there are some sample programs for doing stage-light control and X-10 control. In particular, you might want to study the N&V articles on the subjects available from the Parallax main site.  The author does a very good job at showing a workable schematic and code. He's also a helpful and regular contributor here on the forum. We we *really* get stuck, he'll jump in and help.

My personal opinion is that the SX was made by Mad Scientists Just FOR Mad Scientists...

Igor, pass me the SX-Key !
