Tips to Maintain Documentations

Setup the hexo environment on Mac to preview doc content

Note: Since it's hard to setup hexo environment in Windows, we suggest you to edit and preview the documentation on Mac here.

1. Install nvm (https://github.com/creationix/nvm)

curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/creationix/nvm/v0.31.1/install.sh | bash

Note: nvm is shell script, which needs to be sourced in order to be available. To have it sourced in every terminal you open, put the following line in .bash_profile and save it:

. ~/.nvm/nvm.sh

You can enter the followings commands in terminal to open the bash_profile file and edit it:

touch ~/.bash_profile
open ~/.bash_profile

2. Install stable node

nvm install 4.4.4
nvm use 4.4.4

3. Install hexo

sudo npm install -g hexo

4. Install node dependences

cd /path/to/your/project/
npm install

5. Run the server

cd /path/to/your/project/
hexo server

6. Visit http://localhost:4000 to preview the documentation content

Github Repo Structure Explanation

• sidebar_en.yml file defines the left navigator content, "sidebar_cn.yml" is for Chinese version

• images folder stores images for docs

• For other folders, they are your markdown files. You can edit them directly.

• cn folder stores Chinese version docs, once you add any new docs for English, please copy paste the docs inside this folder to, otherwise, when the language of the website change, the page will become "404 page not found”

Tips for Editing Documentations

1. For image path and documentation refer links, please use relative path.

For example, refer links should be something like this: ../get-started/index.html

Image path should be something like this:

 ![importSDK](../images/tutorials-and-samples/iOS/Phantom4Missions/importSDKs.png)

2. If meet problem of mixing code block and words in markdown file, try to check if space (check yellow part) exist behind "~~~” or "```” as shown below:

otherwise, the words and codes will mix together as shown below:

3. Don’t use tab in front of source code line (Use Space instead), otherwise, it will show as “true” in the webpage as shown below:

4. Impelement Title reference

Please use

 ## Get Started   -> Title
 [link to Get Started](#get-started)   ->title reference code

Instead of to jump to specific title inside a documentation.

We have rules to get the id (get-started). For example, the id of title Apply to be developer & (download) DJI-SDK should be apply-to-be-developer-download-dji-sdk. The id only contains character, numbers and – sign, for other symbols like &, *, (, ), etc, will be deleted. It uses – sign to connect the character and numbers.

5. Open a website link in a new tab of web browser:

Please use the following code style to implement the feature:

<a href=“Your website link" target="_blank”>Title shown in doc</a>.

For example:

The following code

<a href="http://www.dji.com/products/phantom" target="_blank">Phantom series</a>

will become link this: Phantom series

6. Jump to another markdown file’s specific title

Example:

 [Xcode Project Integration](/quick-start/index.html#Xcode-Project-Integration)

Note: quick-start is folder name, index.html is the markdown file name(rename md to html), #Xcode-Project-Integration is the title name inside the markdown file(Please add – between words and numbers), for the name inside [] is the name shown in the doc.

7. Share Map IP Address to Windows IE for previewing

If you want to test the documentation in IE browser, you can run hexo on Mac and share the IP address of the documentation webpage to PC.

Open terminal, enter “ifconfig”, copy the IP address as shown below:

In Windows, open IE browser and enter the following address:

http://ip:4000 

Note: ip is the address you just get above.

8. If you want to run two documentation pages at the same time, try to change the port as shown below:

  hexo server -p 5000/4000/3000

onboard-sdk-doc's Issues

Update document date when updating documents

With the last commit to the OSDK docs many pages we're updated but the dates on the pages we're not. In this instance I'm speaking specifically of the added note about Virtual RC protocol being deprecated, but I assume there are others. As a developer I find it difficult to keep up with OSDK development as it is, it would be extra helpful if I could look at a doc page's date to know whether or not it has undergone recent changes that I need to make myself aware of.

DJI camera control

Hi there,
I want to control my DJI camera using API port or directly using an external NVIDIA Jetson or arduino or any other controller. Kindly give me guidance in this regard.
