Suggest application notes sticky

Since Parallaxsemiconductor.com went down, it's been really hard find the application notes for the propeller. Even going to the Propeller Resource Index sticky, it brings you to the propeller product page and from there it's not apparent were to get the application notes. It really takes some digging to find the application notes.

I know we don't need any more stickies but this would probably be a good one to have at top of the P1 category.

    I'll second this suggestion. The AN's have fallen into a pretty deep crack, and they're too valuable to get lost.

    I think there should only be one sticky in the Propeller forum and this sticky should list the various Propeller resources (like the present resource index sticky).

    I just checked and the resource index has link for the application notes but the link only leads (eventually) to a single appnote.

    I think it would be nice if the resource index were kept current with working links (I'm not sure if there are other problems or not).

    I have a list of links to the appnotes in post #3 of my index.

    I recall several years ago there were lots of stickies in the Propeller forum. I think this was one of the reasons the resource index was started. I personally think having something like a resource index is better than filling the first page of Propeller posts with stickies. If someone is going to look for information in stickies, they will likely find it in the resource index.

    Easy enough.

    The link to application notes in the P1 forum sticky now points to the download family page housing all of the Application Notes.

    Not sure if we updated the same thing...I updated the resource index just now with the link provided by Ron.

    Apparently we have a new link though so I updated that accordingly. Sorry for the confusion.
