Adds tutorial for audio module.

Still needs:

  • Any special instructions?
  • Example
  • GIF of example's results
  • Description of results for Step 5
  • Bonus problem

@rwaldron I built out the scaffolding so that when you're ready it will be easy to add in.

@Frijol I was thinking about this, and I wanted to know what you think about embedding a YouTube video?

That's the direction @HipsterBrown chose for the WAP tutorial.

My opinion is definitely on the side of using a GIF in this situation, for a few reasons:

  • It forces simplicity: just the result of the tutorial and nothing more. This follows the same design philosophy as all the other things in the right-hand column of the module tutorials
  • no user interaction required
  • it's consistent across all the tutorials

If we want to think about full video tutorials, that's a different question and one I'm interested in. I actually made a bunch of them for Tessel 1 (here's the servo for example) but never got around to making all of them - so they didn't go live.

@johnnyman727 points out that you might want to do a video because this is a module that has to do with sound. ...makes sense.

... Yes, that's why I asked after I got no answer to my previous question :P

yep yep, embedding a video is a good idea - please check out the WAP example to make sure the styles match :)

Also, where did you ask before? I didn't see it- want to make sure I'm not losing communication

@johnnyman727 if you want to merge this without the video demo, go for it. I thought I would be able to do that today, but I was caught off guard by a mandatory day long internal workshop

I'll defer to @Frijol because she's been largely managing the FRE.

The bit at the end looked pretty obviously incomplete, so I've just committed changes so it looks ok to deploy now.

Either of @rwaldron @johnnyman727 please take a look and if 👍 please deploy!
