Useful forum posts

We've now got over 30,000 comments in the Espruino forum, and I think that while there are some real jems in here, they're getting hard to find - especially because Google doesn't seem to index the forum that well.

It's been suggested that I add a properly searchable page to the main Espruino site that links to useful forum posts, and that seems like a great idea.

So... do you have any bookmarked forum posts, or things you remember finding useful? Please could you post them up!

Things I've come across (I'll update this as I find/remember them):

• Serve a Web IDE directly off a network-connected Espruino
  
• Detecting movement with Puck.js
  
• Recording audio to SD card
  
  

Posts that seem to be viewed a lot:

• Trouble installing ST COM Port drivers
  
• How do HTTP requests work?
  
• Web Bluetooth for iOS
  
• Hacking Espruino onto a Wristwatch
  
• SSD1306 display skips every other line
  
• STM32 current source/sink info
  
  

edit: The page is now live at http://www.espruino.com/Tips+and+Tricks - however please post any links you think are interesting (it doesn't have to be on the forums) on this thread and I'll add them.

@MaBe added two recently - function snippet analogReadMedian()

From: 'Any good way for analogRead readings calibration?'

http://forum.espruino.com/comments/14365428/

and

class stopWatch {}

From: 'writing modules using new feature class'

http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/317394/#comment14111852

and . . . .

Thought: a separate 'Javascript' category heading with 'snippets,' 'examples,' 'modules' and 'inlineC' sub-headings

Thanks - those look good! If we have enough posts then yes, more headings like that would be good - at the moment I don't really have enough to fill it though :)

How to access a JSON object?

EDIT
Does the root of the link above work for you ref #8 below article by @allObjects

http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/295679/

Not on the forum (I guess there's no reason to limit ourselves) but there's a great Espruino + LoRa tutorial

Ok, first stab at the page is here: https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoDocs/blob/master/info/Tips%20and%20Tricks.md

Again, please let me know if you can think of anything else you'd like added. I left out the JSON object post because I'm not sure it's really specific enough.

It also got me thinking - we should also link to cool projects (both on the forum and off it). There's http://forum.espruino.com/conversations/296979/ and http://forum.espruino.com/microcosms/139/ - but any others?
