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!

@James I also wanna do "Arrrays (Explanation, functions) - $15"..........................................and after that will also go with power supplies one.
@Ravdeep, I have marked you down for Arrays. @Herr Ball, send me an email at [email protected]
I got this one too @james.............................array one, actually its lil' advanced one. https://synthiam.com/Tutorials/UserTutorials/164/1
@Ravdeep.
I don't wish to come across as critical or anything, but when you post code, you should format it properly using the UBB codes.
Also, when you copy other people's work taken from another source, you should give the appropriate credit to the person who originally wrote the article...
www.cs.grinnell.edu/~weinman/courses/CSC161/2015S/modules/arrays-functions/labs/arrays.shtml
EDIT: The same applies for you battery tutorial as well (I thought it looked familiar)...
Original article
Using quotes, snippets and information is fine, but I think your tutorials should be your own work, not copy and paste an entire article from someone else.
He also should have did his code in ARC "scripting" instead of C.... Few people here will be able to use your code...@Ravdeep I would re do your tutorial using ARC scripting instead if I were you so more people can utilize it...
@Richard R and @Steve G , Actually I didn't stole anything and their is no reason for it. I just did it for the sake of making this community place a better one as everything here is well organised. But I am not gonna use it for my standing on the forum but this is for @James who I think so will be making tutorials from the data collected, btw if u guyz want that i should have permission from the original author then soon I will get that..............................even then if it is wrong with you then I will take down the tutorials myself and will also quit from here............... tired
@Ravdeep Please don't get discouraged. We all appreciate your efforts and contributions to this community. I for one have little experience with electronics and robots and need all the help I can get so please just keep compiling the data for tutorials and we can work out the credits and corrections after. Thank you for your help.
@Richard R and @Steve G You guys are the best !
@Ravdeep,
Personally, I don't care if you get discouraged and I don't care if I sound critical. I'm having a hard time believing this was an honest mistake. Passing off someone else's work as yours for profit or praise is dishonest and reprehensible in any civilized culture or to any decent person. Judging from your selfie avatar you look like you're old enough to know the difference. You didn't even do a good job of copying the articles you stole in an understandable format. It would have been better if you had just posted a link to the original tutorial that was so well written BY SOMEONE ELSE. I hope EZ Robot does not reward your effort to use other people's hard work and take EZ Robot's money. mad
