Hi,

We're working on making some more tutorials, we have some thoughts on what we want to do, but we would really like your input. After all it's you, the user, who will benefit from this material.

What do you find unclear, difficult or would like a more thorough walk-through on?

Best regards,

Øyvind

The trouble with so many of the currently-available examples is that they don't explain what they actually do, or how to use them. This is largely left as an exercise in reverse-engineering.

To be fair, Nordic is by no means alone in this - it is an all-too-common failing throughout the microcontroller industry.

In the case of stuff like Bluetooth, this is exacerbated by the fact that the microcontroller part cannot stand alone, but also needs to be used in conjunction with an "app" or suchlike.

So the first thing to do is to ensure that all existing examples do have proper, complete documentation.

Where a Tutorial really helps is that the example is not just presented as a fait accompli - but it also takes the viewer/reader through the process of reaching the goal.
