we could use some documentation

This was my initial reaction too, before I found quickstart.md in docs/. I think it'd be extremely useful if the quick start steps were front-and-centre right in the main README. The first few paragraphs sell me on the software; now tell me how I can use it.

I agree with this. I have the default screen running, what next?

I've just gotten Corsica up and running on a RasPi. (sort-of) This is after about a 10 month gap between having Potch explain everything to me and actually finding the time to attempt. it.
As a bear of very little brain with limited JS fu, it's been an interesting learning curve.
I'm pulling together some notes for an improved set of docs. I'll corner Potch and Lonnen after the holidays and see if I can get enough answers to write something useful.

I've got the "Absolute Beginner's Guide to Corsica on a Raspberry Pi" ready for review, but I can't do a pull request without contributor access here.

Potch sent me an invite. Thanks Potch!

[RAMilewski]

Ooops! Didn't mean to close it. More docs coming!

[RAMilewski]

There is an Instructable to help beginners install corsica (with the new corsica-cli) on RaspberryPi.
Should help any others who aren't Node Ninjas as well.

The docs need to be updated again. The sequential mode and the query string capability needs to be added. I'll put that on my to-do list.

It would be helpful if there were more docs on how to play with the settings a bit.

Which settings in particular? timing? jitter? There's a bunch of deep magic in there that I think only lonnen, potch and mythmon actually understand. I've been looking for an excuse to take mythmon to lunch. Help me build a list of questions for him.

Hello Richard, I was thinking about something demonstrating on how to insert different images from GitHub in the json file that potch already has in the package. When I try to put different images in there, Corsica just crashes and I have to install it all over again. Thanks -Syed

have to install it all over again.

If Corsica is crashing unhelpfully due to configuration problems, that's probably a bug. If nothing else we should log a helpful error about what went wrong. Can you file a separate issue about your specific problem?
