Happymodel EP82 target aliases. #80

Open lesharodin opened 1 year ago

lesharodin commented 1 year ago

Problem: We only have rapidfire HappyModel EP82 target, but it doesnt even say that its for rapidfire only in configurator: image I was strugling whole evening with that, than I dig in to repo and check the target itself (https://github.com/ExpressLRS/Backpack/blob/master/targets/happymodel_vrx.ini) and find out that its rapidfire only. From user perspective its imposible to find out that HappyModel target is for rapidfire, and that EP82 is same as ESP01F.

Tried to make PR https://github.com/ExpressLRS/Backpack/pull/78 and find out that configurator doens't show new target from PR selected.

Solution: We need to add aliases for all ESP01F for HappyModel EP82, or just make documentation for backpack better. (Can anyone told me how can I contribute for wiki?)

Hey @lesharodin,

I was strugling whole evening with that, than I dig in to repo and check the target itself (https://github.com/ExpressLRS/Backpack/blob/master/targets/happymodel_vrx.ini) and find out that its rapidfire only.

I have renamed the target in https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS-Configurator/commit/f1db3ff17e9500f4438673f0cc515b3156c18cc2.

You need a separate PR for new targets so the Configurator app is able to display these. You can see many examples in closed pull requests on the configurator repository. One of the examples: https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS-Configurator/pull/491
