[DM] Help File System
G'day Guy's,
Hi Guy's,
Over the last week or so I have been testing out the new help file system with Ken's new firmware. Today I added a heap more to the file like SPI I2C etc.
The link to the new firmware for is at:-
**broken link removed**
and
**broken link removed**
Don will also host the 'help' file folder too and I'll let Don provide that link.
OK
So far there is 122 text files that I have written and on the main 'help' page is all the details for adding an option to invoke F1 to start the help file.
All one needs to do to start up a help is type help "whatever
Then the file will clear the screen and show, now a Ken suggested this text based system if one is working on a program and need's to look at a help file the program you are working on won't be shutdown so it does give a very handy reference.
All the data for this help file system was taken from the MM V2.7 manual and the current Olimex pdf manual. So many thanks to both parties for providing the base of this project.
Right now all of that is out of the way........
This Help File system is Totally Open Source so users are encouraged to add content and edit the text files if you think the page could look better. One thing I would like is code examples for each command so when either new or experienced users get stuck on a command they can have a quick reference then get back on track.
Also another great feature this new system can provide is a 'post it note' style system. Lets say you have a code snippet or something else you want to reference just make a text file and using the help "whatever... it will be shown.
I would for this thread to be a base for any new items to place in new help system and just attach a zip file of the whole new folder and the separate files that you have done so user's can decide if they want the new update.
Guy's this is my first project in the Duinomite and I thought well if it will be good for me then why shouldn't everyone have the benefit of it. After All the spirit of Open Source is alive with this whole Duinomite project so lets make this new help file even better so everybody has a great online reference when needed.
Regards Bryan
