That would be great :-)
I will work on it and probably a YT tutorial. But I will need to confirm some things with you first to make sure I am sending out correct information.

Once I get the basic instructions, I will send to you for approval.

I dunno. I guess I'm too old school: RTFM works better for me than watching YouTube, so I'd say focus on improving the textual documentation.

It's great if you make good YouTube material because it can attract new users but remember two things:

1. The configuration process itself and the moOde WebUI keep evolving as new features accrete and old bugs get squashed. Tutorials have to be kept fresh or IMHO they do harm. The Web is littered with stale/incorrect HowTo's about all manner of subjects.

2. Video is a terrible reference medium. There's nothing worse than having to scrub through a video to find the 15-sec sequence that explained some configuration setting. This gets back to my bias of focusing on the textual documentation.



And in case anyone has been left uncertain about moOde 9.x and the Raspberry Pi CM4 compute module, it comes up fresh as paint on the CM4 / IO-Board combo I have. Listening to it now.

Kent

1. Eery learner is different. Some learners do better actually "seeing" it done or even doing it side by side. I already have YT channel that I use for multi-purpose audio stuff, so no big deal.


2. I did create a document first which I gave to Tim that outlines the steps involved, so hopefully that will be available soon as a resource for those that want to follow along to documentation. I also wanted to do this to make sure I am following all the steps correctly, which Tim did approve.

3. We were successful in getting moOde on the Holo Red with the CM4 module using my documentation. Same with my Pi 3+ and my CM3. 

Thanks for your concern.

I'm with Kent on this one.

I've tried and tried but I just can't copy and paste text from a youtube video.  Or from a screenshot.

I think we curmudgeons have made our point. 

OTOH My partner, who was an IT trainer in business environments for decades agrees with "1. Every learner is different. Some learners do better actually "seeing" it done or even doing it side by side." 

Let's see what comes.

Then copy and paste a You Tube link. 

You will have both things. Meaning, you will have a document you can copy and paste from and a YouTube link. And you don't even have to use the YT link if you want to or not. I will be there for others then. You obviously know everything.
