Try to remove hard dependencies on 3rd-party websites #3

Low Priority: the course can still be delivered if 3rd-party sites are used. This only becomes a problem once the material needs to survive long-term usage, or usage in places with limited internet.

E.g. S2 (IMU) has a strong dependency on a blog article for users to learn how to live-plot IMU data:

Since it is hard to check whether the numbers that are printed make sense, we will create an interface that plots the outputted numbers. Let's create a simple interface with which we can see a running data plot while capturing. This blog helps you with some inital code. The interface should have the following

Articles like those should be placed as separate notes within PBL, because we can't rely on the content of a website being stable, and because we may want to tweak/modify how each part of the guide is actually done in-lab.

Dropping, because although it's a nice goal to have we won't be able to deliver all the necessary content (incl. longer explanation of MATLAB vs. Python, better plotting guides, etc.) in 2023

It might just be that, each year, we revise each external link to ensure that they're up-to-date with the latest practices.
