<!-- ABOUT THE PROJECT -->
85+
## About the Project
86+
87+
This API enables easy device data reading and communication.
88+
89+
In this repository, you can access:
90+
- etee Python API package source code
91+
- etee Python API example scripts
92+
- Setup files
93+
94+
For more information, please, visit our documentation site:

98+
<!-- GETTING STARTED -->
99+
## Getting Started
100+
101+
<a name="clone-repo"></a>
102+
### Step 1: Clone the repository
103+
104+
1. Open a command prompt.
105+
2. Change the current working directory to the location where you want the cloned directory.
106+
3. Type git clone, and then paste the URL for the Github repository.
107+
```sh
108+
git clone https://github.com/eteeXR/etee-Python-API.git
109+
```
110+
111+
<a name="package-installation-and-venv"></a>
112+
### Step 2: Package Installation & Environment
113+
This repository comes ready with two different setup files:
114+
- `setup_repo.py` will create a [virtual environment (venv)][url-python-venv] using the dependencies listed in `requirements.txt`.
115+
- `setup.py` will automate the ***etee-api*** package installation.
116+
117+
> **Note:** You will need the pip package to run the installation.
118+
> If you do not have Python or pip installed, follow the
119+
> [Python guide on package installation][url-python-package-installation].
120+
121+
122+
<a name="setting-up-venv"></a>
123+
#### 2.1. Setting Up a Virtual Environment
124+
125+
> **If you do not want to run the example scripts**, please skip this step and move to:
126+
> <a href="#installing-the-package">2.2. Installing the Package</a>.
127+
128+
After cloning the repository, you will need to install all the project dependencies to run the example code.
129+
Unlike *step 2.2*., these steps will install extra dependencies required only when running the example scripts
130+
(e.g. `keyboard`, `matplotlib`).
131+
132+
1. Open a command prompt.
133+
2. Navigate to the directory where the `setup_repo.py` is located.
134+
3. Run the script.
135+
```sh
136+
python setup_repo.py
137+
```
138+
4. This should have created a venv inside your project directory. You can activate it at any time by navigating
139+
to the directory containing the /venv folder and entering the following command line:
140+
```sh
141+
.venv\Scripts\activate.bat
142+
```
143+
144+
<a name="installing-the-package"></a>
145+
#### 2.2. Installing the Package
146+
147+
You can automate the installation of the ***etee-api*** package and all its dependencies in
148+
your Python environment, by using the `setup.py` script.
149+
150+
1. Open a command prompt.
151+
2. If you followed *step 2.1.*, make sure that you activate the venv (see previous section).
152+
3. Navigate to the directory where the `setup.py` is located.
153+
4. Use the pip method to run the installation file.
154+
```sh
155+
pip install .
156+
```
157+
5. To check that the package has been successfully installed, you can run the pip list command.
158+
```sh
159+
pip list
160+
```
161+
If the package was installed, you will see its name and version listed:
162+
```text
163+
Package Version
164+
--------------- -------
165+
etee-api 1.0.0
166+
```
167+

169+
170+
171+
<!-- USAGE EXAMPLES -->
172+
## Usage
173+
174+
To get started, [set up the hardware][url-documentation-setup-hw]. This involves connecting the device dongle to your
175+
PC or laptop, and turning ON the controllers. You will know they are connected if the device dongle keeps blinking in
176+
the following pattern: pink-pink-blue.
177+
178+
If you followed the previous steps on installation, you should be able to run any example scripts.
179+
180+
1. Open a command prompt.
181+
2. In case you followed *step 2.1.*, make sure that you activate the venv.
182+
3. Navigate to the directory where the example script is located.
183+
4. Use the python method to run the example script.
184+
```sh
185+
python example_script_name.py
186+
```
187+
188+
We also have [quickstart][url-documentation-quickstart] and [more detailed developer guides][url-documentation-api-functions]
189+
in our documentation page. This might help you understand the different API functionalities and how to integrate them
190+
in your custom applications.
191+

<!-- CONTRIBUTING -->
203+
## Contributing
204+
205+
### How to Contribute
206+
207+
Contributions are what make the open source community such an amazing place to learn, inspire, and create.
208+
Any contributions you make are **greatly appreciated**.
209+
210+
If you have a suggestion that would make this better, please fork the repo and create a pull request.
211+
You can also simply open an issue to describe your suggestion or report a bug.
212+
213+
1. Fork the Project
214+
2. Create your Feature Branch (`git checkout -b feature/AmazingFeature`)
215+
3. Commit your Changes (`git commit -m 'Add some AmazingFeature'`)
216+
4. Push to the Branch (`git push origin feature/AmazingFeature`)
217+
5. Open a Pull Request
218+
219+
### Semantic Type Prefixes
220+
221+
To help us and the community easily identify the nature of your *commit* or *issue*, use **semantic type prefixes**
222+
to precede your message / title.
223+
224+
Some common type prefixes include:
225+
226+
- `feat`: A new feature for the user, not a new feature for a build script.
227+
- `fix`: Bug fix for the user, not a fix for a build scripts.
228+
- `enhanc`: Enhancement or improvement to existing feature.
229+
- `perf`: Code improved in terms of processing performance.
230+
- `refactor`: Refactoring production code (e.g. renaming a variable).
231+
- `chore`: Changes to the build process or auxiliary tools and libraries.
232+
- `docs`: Changes to documentation.
233+
- `style`: Formatting, missing semicolons, etc. No code change.
234+
- `vendor`: Update version for dependencies and other packages.
235+
- `test`: Adding missing tests or refactoring tests. No production code change.
236+
237+
**Format**: `<type>(<scope>): <subject>`, where < scope > is optional.
238+
239+
For example, your commit message header might look like this:
240+
```text
241+
feat(imu): Implemented Euler angles estimation from quaternion
242+
```
243+
