To get the best of this forum, requires your engagement. Get involved by asking questions & responding to questions, taking polls, participating in projects, sitting the training and starting discussions. If you examine the engagement exercises it means contributing to the community. The common denominator for all the exercises is time. After you start investing in the community you will discover what is best for you.

Welcome to element14.

We have a large number of very good people here who like to help.

Ask your questions by supplying as much detail as you can so we can fully understand your problem.

As Sean said, engagement is the key.

PS, that does not mean we will do your homework.

Hoeing a row in a garden requires more than swinging the tool to break up the soil. The other stuff you need to know can be acquired on the job or you could engage a person that has hoed a row to discover their secrets. This site has that person!

It could mean asking a question, looking for a demonstration or prototyping a row and asking for feedback. An investment from you, doesn't guarantee you will gain the knowledge but it does improve the chances someone will participate. For me the knowledge is flushing out the response, like you would do in a person-to-person conversation.

The members of this site have responded to question like "I want this........" to "Here is what I have built, it doesn't work, can I get some help" It is my opinion, the second question is engaging. It seem to me, the first question does get responses but the person asking the question slowly loses interest. I is because the response doesn't pick up the hoe and deliver the row.

Reading member articles is often very useful. Should I need to try a new chip family, or just learn more about a new topic, my go-to choice is usually to find someone's blog post on the community.
