Hello!
You may have seen the new tutorial section, and it looks like we already have a bunch of new tutorials. What we need is more tutorials, so I have created a list of tutorials below for anyone to take on. Just respond to this post with the tutorial you would like to create and get started. If you have any suggestions for other tutorials I can add them to the list as well. Upon completing the tutorial, you will be rewarded with the ez-credit value listed with each tutorial!
Some of these tutorials will be very simple, but keep in mind, it will be helpful for lots of new users.
EDIT: When you are done making the tutorials please make a post on this thread letting me know you are done. That way it will be a bit easier on me to keep things organized. Thanks!

I would be happy to do the "Multiple EZ-B's" one, but to do it justice, I'll have to put a good bit of time into the DHCP running in client mode bug and working around it, so if/when the bug is fixed, I'll need to edit the tutorial. I'll cover the basics first, and then add the "if it doesn't work, this is what is happening" section, so it will be easy to just remove the additional info.

Awesome! I think I'll bump that one up to $25.
I'd like to do the tutorial on Files.
BTW, Hi James!
Are you new at EZ-Robot?
@JustinRatliff James worked last year for ez robot and now this year too. So he's not new...
@James Graham Hu... I would like to do UART and looping if that works for you?
Nice!
I was here last winter for my first coop term, but then left for the summer to go back to school. I'm back for another few months for my second coop term.
Just saw your post @Richard R. Sounds good!
I would be happy to do the "speech recognition" and "connection servo speed/init script" tutorials. I have a speech recognition tutorial partially wrirtten up so both won't take to long to compose and post.
Steve.
Thanks Steve
