Greetings. As a means of saying thanks, I have edited the tinyGS Wiki FAQ. I've created https://github.com/jbgreer/tinyGS.Wiki and edited the FAQ; I don't seem to be able to perform a pull request on the tinyGS.wiki repository of the project. Kindly review my changes. https://github.com/jbgreer/tinyGS.Wiki/blob/master/FAQ.md

I'm open to reviewing additional documentation and editing it if you like.

Thanks.

Thanks for the contribution. Github doesn't allow pull requests to the wiki repositories. We keep track of the wiki page here: https://github.com/4m1g0/tinygs-wiki I've already pulled your changes.

There is a little problem, reflashing the board will not reset the configuration. Other than that looks very good! I will edit that an push it this evening!

Thanks!

[ There are many complaints on GitHub about pull requests for Wiki updates. It is unfortunate that one cannot create a pull request directly. ] For what it's worth, a couple of people on the Telegram channel specifically recommended trying to use the TinyGS Uploader to reflash one of my devices when I lost my admin password for the device. This did not work for me. The TinyGS Uploader (Windows 10), would perform the first step (download), but not the erase and write step.

I was able to restart the installation process on a device by cloning the TinyGS repository, installing Platform.IO on my local VS Code, and Terminal->Run Task -> Upload. That re-installed the firmware on the device and allowed to to restart the configuration process.

This morning I configured a new 433MHz station. The TinyGS Downloader did not work for that new device. I used Platform.io/VS Code to flash that device as well. It is now working. I have Tx turned off,

Thanks again.
