Talk:Style Guide

I'm curious how we should deal with generic form of a component, I'm thinking of things like LEDs. What I seem to be seeing so far are mostly specific components from specific manufacturers. Should the LED page be using the component template? Maybe call it a "Generic Component" and discuss general rules for using those components? --Qfe0

For generic items, I have just been using a generic article. But I think that we may want to come up with a template at some point. I think a section for the different types of something may be needed. But maybe there can be a general article on capacitors, and a expanded version for "electrolytic capacitors". The wikipedia way is to have one article to cover all the types. We will have to see what works best. --Ameyer 12:39, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

I'm thinking we need an option for Component that doesn't include a "Code" section. 555_Timer for instance doesn't really have a need for that field. I would think the "Code" section would be limited to components with some sort of more complex interface. --Qfe0 19:00, 12 June 2010 (UTC)

I can make the code section only show up if there anything in there - Actually pretty easy to do. --Ameyer 21:31, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
