BS2 Tutorial updated

I have posted the revised BS2 Tutorial on my development site.
http://imsinet.casa.siu.edu/bs2_tutorial/

This will replace the version on Parallax's site when they are ready.

This is a 340 slide power point presentation for beginners in using the
BASIC Stamp2.

I tried to stick with simple common, inexpensive, but interesting components
for discussion and use.
The parts list includes:
2) LEDs
2) N.O. pushbuttons
2) 1K Resistors
2) 10K resistors
1) 10K Pot
1) 0.1uF Cap
1) 10uF Cap
1) ADC0831 serial A/D
2) LM34 precision temperature detector.
1) Piezo-electric buzzer

It may be viewed as HTML files (in IE 4.0 or greater), downloaded as a
zipped HTML set, or viewed/downloaded as a Power Point presentation.

Next week I will create and post a large Acrobat pdf of the presentation
also.

In February, once any feedback/problems are addressed, I will re-post and
publish the pdf's by section.
I will also create a zipped file of the sample programs, available to
educator's or others (as Parallax sees fit).

With the exception of a section on basic electronics, I consider it fairly
complete. The section on basic electronics may be created as a separate
tutorial since it has become quite large. This may not be complete until
summer, or sooner as time allows me.

The tutorial includes some programming challenges, but not many interactive
questions. My plans are to develop a workbook to accompany the tutorial for
use by our students, and of course, will make it available to others for use
in education. Some additional devices may be included in the workbook for
expanded experiments and instruction.

Educator's are free to add/revise any content for internal use.

I welcome any feedback, either directly, or through a link in the tutorial.

Now you college professor's, what can I do to get this counted for tenure???
Any peer-reviews or other suggestions are most welcome.

Thanks, and I hope it is of benefit!
