New wiki

RogerClark Sat May 07, 2016 6:23 am

Hi Guys

I’m in the process of setting up a wiki where we can store the wealth of information that has been posted to the forum, in a more logical and easy to find way.

If anyone can spare some time to help populate the wiki, please let me know.

It will use Mediawiki, which is the same as Wikipedia uses, as its the most stable and versatile wiki system that I know of, and I have used it before.

Top of the To Do list, is to get a list of boards into the wiki, including photos and were possible schematic.

There is a load of text in the Github wiki that I can pull into this wiki, and I can probably “borrow” some information from the old leaflabs wiki.
(Note, I’ve emailed leaflabs, several days ago, to ask if its possible to mirror their wiki page(s), but I’ve not had a response )

BTW. I don’t think I can pull your existing login information into the user database for media wiki, but I may be able to batch create new accounts and use your email addresses as the initial passwords.
However as I suspect that most people will not have the time to help with this, I will probably end up creating accounts manually.

Hi Dan

I just created an account.

You will get emailed a temporary password by MediaWiki and then need to change it when you login

I’ve also updated the page to use the most recent layout, that I’m now using on the other boards

If you want to modify the layout e.g. add more to the table at the top or to the sections, thats OK, we can revisit standardizing things later

I think this is originally my mistake.

That board has a header that looks like it accepts JTAG, but appearances as deceptive

Are we also going to start document common scenarios on the wiki of things you may want to use.
Like for example what was asked in http://www.stm32duino.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1095
It may be useful to start putting basic code samples that show how to use all the features of the stm32

The most common problem seems to be USB..

resetting to upload
driver installation
dfu-util installation
udev rules (linux) and device permissions
and
Hardware faults on usb , including the 10k resistor on the blue pill etc

For new users a link to Wiki in Quick Links would be nice. At the moment, new users are not expecting that the Wiki pages are available.
