## Overview

Setting pages should focus solely on settings and configuring the device. Hardware is often a related topic, however these pages should not attempt to explain attaching hardware. Mention that hardware is required and link to the appropriate page(s).

## Layout

### Overview

This section should describe the group of settings and what they do for the device.

### Settings

This section starts with an alphabetized table of settings, available values, and default values.

Available values should be listed with tick marks `` surrounding the value.

| Value Type |           Example           |
| :--------: | :-------------------------: |
|  Boolean   |       `true`, `false`       |
|    List    | `apple`, `banana`, `orange` |
|   Range    |          `0`-`100`          |

After the table each setting is described in brief detail. If the available options for a setting need additional explanation, a table should be used to describe each available option.

### Details

If additional details are needed, this optional section can explain that. These would include prerequisites, links to hardware guides, etc.

### Examples

This optional section can have examples of configurations needed where multiple settings are required to be set up for a specific use case.
