You'll find some descriptions of [http://www.atmel.com/products/avr/ AVR] [http://parallax.com/Default.aspx?tabid=248 SX] and [http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=74 PIC] projects on these pages. And [[other stuf]].

==Projects==
 
Here are some finished, or work in progress activities:
 
  
* As a 'hello world' #2 exercise, we've done some [[Knight Rider]] walking led experiments. These experiments demonstrate: pwm, either through SX [[Virtual Peripherals]] or inline and [[How to drive many leds with a few io-pins]].
+
== Getting started ==
* [[3D Miller controlled through rs-232]]
+
* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings Configuration settings list]
* [[Wireless LCD display]]
+
* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:FAQ MediaWiki FAQ]
* [[Driving a shift register led display driver]].
+
* [https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-announce MediaWiki release mailing list]
* [[Driving 4 seven segment led displays]]
 
* [['Very Limited Space' Midi Sustain Pedal]].
 
* [[Fake Cricket]].
 
* [[Reading Rotary Encoders]]
 
* Software projects:
 
**An [[eclipse plugin for SX assembly language]].
 
**[[Sxgo]], a fast, portable SX28 emulator.
 
* [[Oven temperature controller]]
 
 
 
==Notes==
 
Some links to notes, images from the manual, etc:
 
 
 
* [http://www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downloads/docs/prod/datast/SX20AC-SX28AC-Data-v1.6.pdf SX28 data sheet] with pin-outs, instruction set summary, memory model, etc.
 
 
 
==Programming==
 
For newer PICs, the picprog programmer needs to be [[Modified Pic Programmer|Modified]]. SX chips should best be programmed with the SX-Key or the SX-Blitz.
 
 
 
Although almost each project could be done with an SX as well as a specific PIC chip, the approach and philosophy between both is quite different. Look at the [[differences between the SX and the PIC]] we found (on the internet) and discovered (ourselves) between the two competitors.
 
 
 
A very useful utility for programming timing loops is [http://www.mnsi.net/~boucher/picloops.html PicLoops]. It works for SX as well as PIC.
 
 
 
And how can you program a SOT23 package (i.e. the 10Fxxx series)? With a [[SOT23-to-DIL adapter]].
 
 
 
==Tutorial==
 
 
 
As there are many, many [http://www.google.nl/search?hl=nl&q=PIC+tutorial&meta= tutorials] about PICs on the internet, and the SX is very well [http://www.parallax.com/Default.aspx?tabid=460#Documentation documented] by Parallax, we won't be serving another one here.
 
 
 
==ToDo List==
 
 
 
Here are some projects that need to be finished:
 
* Midi Chord generator
 
* 'Very Limited Space' Midi Sustain Pedal v2
 
* FireDept. Siren for the Firetruck of JustIn
 
* Traffic Light Toy
 
* Digital Analogue Clock with Traffic Light alarm
 
* Solarpower Chicken Lighting System
 
* PIC-based MidiFilePlayer
 
* Drumcomputer
 
* DCC Train control system
 
* Frequency Counter
 
* simple GPS logger based on rs232 receiver
 
* sunrise alarm clock
 
 
 
Reminder to the maintainers: more documentation is in the [[WikiDocumentation]] pages.
