Hello Bruce W8BH,
The cool thing about releasing the draft PDFs is that many eyes usually see more than two eyes. I am glad that my nit-picky suggestions were considered.
All of these PDFs are very educational. I like the way you explain everything so clearly.
I am looking forward to the Audio part. !!!
Your Portable Morse Code Tutor is looking like it might be a good ARC project? If the COVID19 pandemic ever allows groups to get together again?

I really enjoyed that microcontroller part !!!
I have now had a chance to sit down and read each part carefully. Here are a few suggestions that you may consider for all three parts, so far:
part 2 pg 2 having a very lower Vdo is important. suggested: having a much lower Vdo is important.
part 2 pg 4 Pin 1 if the MCP73831 is the status line. suggested: Pin 1 of the MCP73831 is the status line.
part 2 pg 4 What resistor value should be use? suggested: What resistor value should be used? or: What resistor value should we use?
part 2 pg 4 to a microcontroller input, so that you the application also knows suggested: to a microcontroller input, so that the application also knows or: to a microcontroller input, so that your application also knows
part 3 pg 1 flash memory, used by Morse Code Tutor to store its settings, suggested: flash memory, used by the Morse Code Tutor to store its settings,
part 3 pg 4 Let¡¯s add connect the pushbutton, resistor, and capacitor to the suggested: Let¡¯s add and connect the pushbutton, resistor, and capacitor to the
part 3 pg 4 The datasheet for the STM32 recommends bypass capacitor for every set of voltage pins on the microcontroller. suggested: The datasheet for the STM32 recommends a bypass capacitor for every set of voltage pins on the microcontroller. or: The datasheet for the STM32 recommends bypass capacitors for every set of voltage pins on the microcontroller.
I know those are all very nit-picky, and the drafts were very understandable as written, but I can't help it. I think it is an OCD thing? 8^D
