Dear Chaps,
When you do your next website upgrade can you PLEASE include an easily accessable and readable knowledge base?
You know the sort of thing; links/index with various examples and diagrams.
I only suggest this becasue the same old stuff crops up on the Forum over and over and over; yes, people generously give time in answering. Contributors have provided some really good solutions, but unless you KNOW what you're searching for they're lost.
All these answers need editing, clarifying, compiling and summarising and spell-checked too.
True, you can't force people to read data-sheets , and you can't force them to click 'search', but remember; sometimes newbies don't know the phrases to use in a search.
Basically, an indexed/linked and extended version of your manuals with more explanations, diagrams, examples and calculations.
1. Do I need a resistor with my LED?
2. My PICAXE has vaporised when I connected it to the mains - how can I test it?
3. I've connected my PICAXE to my Dad's starter motor but his car won't start. Why not?
All these sorts of questions can be answered by the pictorial knowledge base. And' lets face it, there seems to a lack in some areas of real basic understanding.
P.S. if you've already got one it doesn't appear to be findable.
