-===== Getting Started =====
+====== Getting Started ======
-===== Using the Board =====
+If this is your first time using this board, you will need to follow these steps to get started.
+  - Assemble the board.\\ <wrap>
+- Insert the EInk display in to the connector by lifting the brown tab on the connector, inserting the tail of the display, and pressing the brown tab back into place.\\
+- Optional: use the double-sided tape to fix the display in place. Stick the foam square to the board first, then gently press the display down onto the tape.\\
+</wrap>
+  - Power the board.\\ <wrap>
+- This board ships pre-programmed with the MultiDemo firmware that allows is to be used as a motion switch, data logger, or input to a real-time PC-connected user interface. The motion switch functionality can be used with the coin cell battery alone, without downloading any drivers or connecting to USB. Just insert a CR2450 coin cell batter in the holder on the back of the board, ensure all jumpers and switches are in the appropriate positions, and turn the board on. (this shows the back side of the board with the battery orientation - positive side of battery facing out{{:resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:accelerometers:adxl362:adxl326_battery.jpg?300|}})
+\\
+- To use the data logger or real-time evaluation functionality, you will need to install drivers and other files. Proceed to the next step for instructions.\\
+</wrap>
+  - Install the drivers and verify COM port.\\ - Download drivers [[#Drivers|above]].\\ - For instructions on verifying your COM port, click [[resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:evalsystem:findyourcomport|here]].

 ====== Firmware User Guides ======
 This section describes operation of the firmware options provided by Analog Devices for this development board. To download firmware, click [[#firmware_options|here]] or scroll up to the Firmware Options section above.
+===== Multi-Demo Firmware =====
+The Multi-Demo firmware is pre-programmed onto the Datalogger Board, so out of the box, the behavior of the board will match the description in this section. This firmware may always be re-programmed onto the board using [[#Reconfiguring_The_Board|these instructions]] and the .hex file posted [[#Firmware_Options|here]].
+To use the MultiDemo firmware:
+  - On power-up, the board behaves as a motion switch: the entire display lights up when the board is moved. When the board is still for a few seconds, most icons turn off and only the logos, power and battery icons remain on. Initial power up state: {{ :resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:accelerometers:adxl362:poweridle.jpg?300 |}}  After movement, all of the logos, digits, power and battery icons will light: {{ :resources:eval:user-guides:inertial-mems:accelerometers:adxl362:poweractive.jpg?300 |}}
+  - To log data, at any time, insert the microSD card into the slot and press the SW3 button in the top right-hand corner of the board. The word "LOg" will be shown on the display. The hand icon, if present, indicates a logging error. Generally this appears when the microSD card is not inserted fully into the slot. If no hand icon lights up, data logging begins when the word "LOg" is shown, and continues until power is removed from the board.
+  - To download logged data onto a computer, use the GUI provided here. Installation of the GUI is straightforward:
+  - The GUI also enables adjustment of output data rate and measurement range for data logging.

 ===== Motion Switch =====
@@ Line 107: / Line 128: @@
 Note that tilt measurement is, in general, a slow measurement. This is because at any given moment, the motion of your hand, for example, could be producing acceleration that would interfere with the tilt measurement. If we average the total acceleration measurement over time, we can get rid of the transient, or AC, effects, such as those due to your hand moving, and we are left only with long-term, or DC, effects -- in this case, gravity. So for best results, tilt slowly and wait for the display to refresh.
+===== Write your own software =====
+Talking to the development board can be done using your own program with the following commands:
+Baud rate: 153600 8N1
+Commands:
+xAA  - Enable PC control, the board should respond (500+ ms) 0x55 and Eink display will show "PC"
+xB1 to start collecting data
+    Start collection can be augmented with additional commands which specify different modes
+xB1 0x0L 0x00 0xGS 0xN2
+    Where L is the length: 1 for 8-bit; 0 for 12-bit
+    G is the maximum G: 1 - 2G; 5 - 4G; 9 - 8G
+    S is the sampling rate: 0-12.5hz;1-25hz;2-50hz;3-100hz;4-200hz;5-400hz
+    N is the filtering: 0-Normal; 1-Low Noise; 2-Ultra low noise
+    EG: 0xB1 0x00 0x00 0x15 0x02   would be start, 12-bit samples, 2G max, 400hz sampling, normal noise mode.
+xB2 to end collecting data
+Data is transmitted 16-bits for each direction, 2's compliment, little-endian, in groups of XYZ (48-bits at a time, or 6 bytes).
+The first block of data will be 8-bytes and can be discarded.
