We will use the following as a template, and edit it as more users post.
Chapter1: Introduction
show the hardware, define the pins with short explanations.
Chapter2: Installing drivers and software.
-pretty much what you have in tutorials
-add a procedure to start the software, find the brain using the search function, and running a pre-made brain-test skin to test digital outputs, and show voltages for analog inputs. Just to make sure it works right.
Chapter3: Making the physical connections.
Inputs:
-detailed pics and diagrams for connecting each of the supported sensors.
Outputs:
-simple relay connection (I know, how can it be any simpler, but people may need help there too).
Chapter4:Software introduction
-Explain the big picture:
-relationship between configurator and mdx software.
Chapter5: Detailed MDX description:
-Main page button/frame definitions and functions.
-grahpic editor and subform,
-button/frame definiton and functions
-property form for each type of element:
-field definitions and what they do.(or reference a xml language section further on)
-specify what kind of images to use, maybe walk through 1 of each type.
-root logic section:
-button/frame/tab definition and functions
-customframeform button/frame definitions
-module definitions and uses (maybe put this in a later language reference section)
Then statemement page.
-button/frame/field definitions and method of use (maybe put this in a later language reference section)
-how to create a custom module.
Chapter6: Fusion XML skin language section
just go through each part of the skin file, explain the fields and their properties, what each property is and what it's value can be. My suggestion is to build a skin that has an example of everything, maybe a couple of each with different property values selected.
Chapter7:
functional examples based on application
Appendix A: Specifications
-specifications for outputs. (what if I want to drive a transistor? a led? a 100HP DC motor?jk)
-specifications for digital inputs.
