WEB_INTERFACE_GUIDE.md - Web UI port: 5050 -> 5000 (4 occurrences) - Tab list was almost entirely fictional. Documented tabs: General Settings, Display Settings, Durations, Sports Configuration, Plugin Management, Plugin Store, Font Management. None of these exist. Real tabs (verified in web_interface/templates/v3/base.html: 935-1000): Overview, General, WiFi, Schedule, Display, Config Editor, Fonts, Logs, Cache, Operation History, plus Plugin Manager and per-plugin tabs in the second nav row. Rewrote the navigation section, the General/Display/Plugin sections, and the Common Tasks walkthroughs to match. - Quick Actions list referenced "Test Display" button (doesn't exist). Replaced with the real button list verified in partials/overview.html:88-152: Start/Stop Display, Restart Display Service, Restart Web Service, Update Code, Reboot, Shutdown. - API endpoints used /api/* paths. The api_v3 blueprint mounts at /api/v3 (web_interface/app.py:144), so the real paths are /api/v3/config/main, /api/v3/system/status, etc. Fixed. - Removed bogus "Sports Configuration tab" walkthrough; sports favorites live inside each scoreboard plugin's own tab now. - Plugin directory listed as /plugins/. Real default is plugin-repos/ (verified in config/config.template.json:130 and display_controller.py:132); plugins/ is a fallback. - Removed "Swipe navigation between tabs" mobile claim (not implemented). WIFI_NETWORK_SETUP.md - 21 occurrences of port 5050 -> 5000. - All /api/wifi/* curl examples used the wrong path. The real wifi API routes are at /api/v3/wifi/* (api_v3.py:6367-6609). Fixed. - ap_password default was documented as "" (empty/open network) but config/wifi_config.json ships with "ledmatrix123". Updated the Quick Start, Configuration table, AP Mode Settings section, and Security Recommendations to match. Also clarified that setting ap_password to "" is the way to make it an open network.

This directory contains guides, references, and architectural notes for the LEDMatrix project. If you are setting up a Pi for the first time, start with the project root README — it covers hardware, OS imaging, and the one-shot installer. The pages here go deeper.

Archive
docs/archive/ holds older guides that have been superseded or describe
features that have been removed. They are kept for historical context and
git history but should not be relied on.
Contributing to the docs
- Markdown only, professional tone, minimal emoji.
- Prefer adding to an existing page over creating a new one. If you add a new page, link it from this index in the section it belongs to.
- If a page becomes obsolete, move it to
docs/archive/rather than deleting it, so links don't rot. - Keep examples runnable — paths, commands, and config keys here should match what's actually in the repo.
