Thanks for creating this library, and continuing to maintain it. Just a quick question. I have a project where I am using a few TTGO T-beams. I was testing something, and connected a Nextion display to the esp32 via hardware Serial on pins 32 and 33. Unfortunately while these are gpios in the official TTGO pinout in later revisions they have been connected to io1 and io2 of the 1278 module. After trying to run with the tx and rx of the Nextion on 32 and 33 I was getting the Lora failed to start message. It took me a while to figure out what had happened. After disconnecting the display changing the code I still always get the Lora module failed to start message. Everything else on the board seems to work fine, but I think I cooked the Lora chip. Any code to check for signs of life?

By the way is anyone thinking about adding support for SX1262? I am really tempted to switch, but it would probably mean creating my own board which would be a bit of a pain.

Thanks Chris

The Issue seems to have solved itself after a half an hour and is now working. I am still interested to hear about the sx1262. I would probably be willing to help or at least test code if there is someone who wants to work on it. I am not really sure why the chip is not more popular yet as on paper it is a significant improvement.
