Re: [Flashforth-devel] update to tutorial guide

[Pete Z. <pza...@pz...>]

Hi Peter,
The Tutorial Guide looks very good.  Really glad to see the emphasis on 
the PIC24FV32KA302.
Perhaps a short tutorial on capacitance measurement using the 
PIC24FV32KA302 CTMU can be added (when time permits).
Look forward to SPI info being added, too.

Thanks for the effort.  Good luck with the new teaching term.

Pete
