I got my Softstep back a few days ago (or rather, a new one, thanks KMM!) but I didn't manage to find time to test my Javascript driver until today.
It was in fact working except the "twinkle" function didn't quite work, one which perhaps I'm the only one who would ever use.
It has tons of useful features including scrolling displays - and more stuff to come in the next weeks.
It's uploaded if any of you want to play with it - you can get it here: http://ax.to/softstep-download - and you can see the source here: http://ax.to/max
