Q: Do I have to know how to program the Prop-SX to use it with VSA?
A: No, we've written a few programs for you; select the one that fits your prop and download it to the Prop-SX

Q: Can VSA talk to more than one Prop-SX controller?
A: If they're on separate serial channels, yes.

Q: What about DMX?
A: By using our RS-485/DMX-512 add-on (coming soon) you can make the Prop-SX DMX-compatible
    -- you can easily set the address via a 9-position switch
    -- you can have up to eight digital, servo, or PWM channels

Q: What do I need to get started?
A: The Prop-SX starter kit gives you what you need (controller, SX-Blitz programmer, power supply)
    -- you only need one Blitz (the programmer), so after you have the starter kit you can buy controllers as required

Q: Is there an easier way to download the program?
A: There will be soon; we're working on a Prop-SX "configurator" that will download the code without you having to look at it.
