Just pondering... A library of "how to" documents would help grow our collective knowledge and understanding. For example, a given situation and a credible solution with real running cut-and-paste RLL. Yes, I am aware of the AD example programs, but those are mostly of limited scope and very narrow in view.
One example would be setting up a new system with Ethernet coms, specifying all of the necessary details of initial settings for everything attached. Some old-schoolers were not raised with a game control growing from our hands and ear buds permanently inserted... Do-more Designer system configuration may be a good example, there are a number of choices to consider and address. A direct try-it-this-way document would be helpful to avoid the frustration of not knowing.
Another example might include how this works stuff... include a few real world examples of how each and every Ibox would be used in a real program. I read the explanation but sometimes remain at a loss of why or how to use these tools.

Have you seen all the ADC videos on their Do-more website? These address SOME How-To's
www.do-more.com
Doug Bell's 30 free days of Interconnecting Automation Do-more training videos that come with every Do-more CPU are also helpful.

However, I know that none of them address the breadth/depth of a well configured/designed set of Ethernet Networks, which is definitely needed. But I wanted to point you to some resources that are available, most of which are free.

So much Do-more can do. We want to greatly increase available resources, but there is a diminishing return as stuff gets lost in the noise.
This forum is also a great resource. Just ask. There a number of very capable users that monitor here, as well as us Host guys, and we are more than happy to provide this type of guidance.
