Prop-SX question

Jon,

     Any news on the lower cost SX-key or the Vixen drivers for the Prop-SX?

You'd have to check with Parallax for the new SX-Key; I've seen the prototype but don't know when it's going into production.

The Vixen driver I envision for the Prop-SX is pretty complicated as it will download sequence data into the Prop-SX's EEPROM (32K).  As it will also contain servo data we're waiting on Vixen 2.0 for features that will help us develop better motion curves.  It really doesn't make sense to use the Prop-SX like we do the Prop-2 vis-a-vis Vixen; the performance would be the same and it just costs you more for the tool to program the Prop-SX.
