Connections from SX Tech Board to RC 4

Ok, Jon-
Reading the manual on the RC4 (yeah, shawn, keep it up!!!  :D ) it says to contact EFX-TEk before hooking up the RC4 to anything other than an EFX-TEK product. So, I'm going to download your RC4 demo code into my sx28 and I have RC7 going to the black on the 12" extention, Vdd going to white, and Vss going to red. This should provide power to the RC4 sx chip, and, hopefully work. Right?  ???

Thanks

Shawn

The reason we put that suggestion into the docs is that the RC-4 can be damaged due to a back hook-up; here's what you want

W = RC.7
R = Vdd (+5v)
B = Vss (ground)

Ok, so I had to change the program for the 4 MHz resonator that came with my kit (SX Tech tool kit Plus), but......

It WORKS!!!  :o Sorry to be such a newbee, but MAN that's pretty cool! Thanks for your help Jon, SLOWlY but surely I'm learning this SX stuff!!!

Between my Prop-1's, AP8's(down, but possibly not out) and RC-4's next halloween is going to rule!

Why wait for Halloween, it's Christmas season.  I don't know about your neighborhood, but here in Hollywood everybody is lit up.
