S2 Education Resources
Educational and Other Resources for the Parallax S2:
This thread is dedicated to Educational resources for the Parallax S2. I will also include other S2 info of interest.
It is a work in progress! I invite others to add their material as a reply (and I will move it this top post) so that folks can quickly and easily access the material.
Please remember that GUI Program Maker resources for the Scribbler (original Blue) can be used for the S2.
