DIY TX documentation issue #46

Open gusarov opened 1 year ago

gusarov commented 1 year ago

On the page https://github.com/ExpressLRS/ExpressLRS-Hardware/tree/master/PCB/2400MHz/TX_SX1280

after reading everything, I noticed that there is 2 PCB design, and no hint about which one to choose and why, so I just took a first one (G-NiceRF_LoRa1280). And ordered all the parts, including E28. While soldering it turned out that E28 module can't fit onto LoRa1280 (I just never came across that before, so had no idea that this part of file name have something to do with different module at all). This is quite sad and looks like a serious issue with the doc. Let's make it more clear, both in the list of variants of PCB and in the list of parts to order. There is nothing about LoRa1280 on this page at all, I just learned it hard way.

Plus there is no links to 3d models to print for the case, and thingiverse search gives some contradictory results...

Consider to not post localized versions of a link. Due to Ali behavior, whoever clicks on that will switch their cookies and will see all pages in Spanish from now on till they manually change the language in profile settings... While generic page, without prefix will always respect existing cookies and will be displayed in user's preferred language. I consider this as Aliexpress bug but we have to be mindful about it, they are not fixing this for decades...
