## 💡 Usage Tips

### 🔍 Finding What You Need

- **Search by name**: Use Ctrl+F to find specific classes
- **Browse by category**: Use the hierarchy view for organized browsing  
- **Check inheritance**: See which classes extend others
- **View all members**: Find all methods and properties for a class

### 📖 Reading Class Documentation

Each class page includes:
- **Brief description** - What the class does
- **Detailed description** - How it works and when to use it
- **Constructor documentation** - How to create instances
- **Method documentation** - All available functions
- **Member variables** - Class properties and fields
- **Usage examples** - Practical code samples

### 🎯 Quick Examples

```cpp
// Core mesh operations
painlessMesh mesh;
mesh.init("MyMesh", "password", &scheduler, 5555);

// Task scheduling  
Task myTask(1000, TASK_FOREVER, &myCallback);
scheduler.addTask(myTask);

// Package messaging
SensorPackage sensor;
sensor.temperature = 25.5;
mesh.sendPackage(&sensor);
```
