Great sites like this are prefect for us hobby minded people.</p>

After all, that's what a datasheet or application notes gives you. The point is that it gives a starting point for people to connect these "Legos" in their own creative ways, like clear instructions on how to cook basic food so that you can experiment with other recipes later.</p>

We haven't done anything like this. They are shipped, so you will be getting your free stuff soon enough.</p>

This isn't university, if someone wants to just have fun then excellent. If they want to learn then the confidence they gain from this will propel them keep working at their next, more complicated, project.</p>

Now, with your simple drawings I can finally complete my projects since I get documentation I understand, and not complicated datasheets that over complicate everything :) Thanks, site bookmarked!!</p>

Even though they mostly use Arduino even those not using Arduino will find much useful information and hints in the tutorials.</p>

When I get home, I'm bookmarking this on the family PowerMac G4 (ssslllooowww, it only has 768 MB of RAM.).</p>

Any idea what they use to create the graphics for their wiring diagrams?</p>
