Hi Douglas, I was just suggesting - and maybe a good third part to your essentials suggestion - about stepper motors. I see that frequently online there is a lot of material but few useful and a lot of consing bad explained concepts.

Great suggestion Dave! Especially the second project, it's not easy to found similar ones reliable on the net.

A quick question, are you interested in community members writing articles? I'm an author, and I'd love to write a few things for the community

Hello James, I think that spannerspencer maybe more precise than me but if you can plan some of these I think that your work is welcome.

Absolutely, yeah! Every member gets their own blog when they register, which you're more than welcome to put to prolific use! And you can let us know when you've got something in there that might warrant a few extra eyeballs, and we'll help to promote it around the Community.

And you can post blogs in different areas of the Community too, if you've got something specific to talk about -- please feel free to go for it, in that respect too.

If you've any content you'd like to discuss before you start writing, just drop myself and/or jwatson a message, and we can all take a look at it together!

Looking forward to seeing your stuff!
