## Dahl Design DDC Manual

Welcome to the manual!

Here you'll find the information you'll need to start using DDC for your controller. It is written as a step-by-step guide, start with project planning, move on to wiring, coding and connection to SimHub.&#x20;

To look at what's in development, send requests and bug rapports, go to the[ issues page](https://github.com/andreasdahl1987/DahlDesignDDC/issues) on GitHub.&#x20;

The topics that naturally fall into the manual for the [Dashboard](https://github.com/andreasdahl1987/DahlDesignDash), [LED plugin](https://github.com/andreasdahl1987/DahlDesignLED) and [Properties Plugin](https://github.com/andreasdahl1987/DahlDesignProperties) will not be covered here.
