How to use this documentation
Preface
DINGO-Stack's Online Help is one of 3 Go-IoT product user manuals. The other two are:
- Go-IoT Cloud Online Help
- DINGO Hardware Online Help
This documentation consist of both online HTML5 documentation as well as some PDF files, available online.
This documentation can be viewed from desktop browser, tablet or mobile phone.
If you are totally new to DINGO-Stack it is strongly recommenced that you go through the guided tour in the "Get started" section.
Also you can watch the "Get Started Video" which follows the same steps described in the guided tour.
If you only need reference help, entering the DINGO-Manager section is probably the way to go, unless you need information about files used for configuring the DINGO-Stack, then enter the "Files" section.
