Hi,
As a newbie builder it’s been a steep learning curve for me to get my RN working (albeit fun
). Although this site is a gold mine of wonderful information it can sometimes be difficult to pin point the exact answer you're after.
I was going to add a section in the RN FAQ Wiki at the bottom called "common problems" ? with symptoms of a problem and links to the relevant forum posts.
I’ll start it with the half dozen I have had and anyone can then edit/add to it later … In the same way articles are sometimes pinned, maybe if a post is deemed useful it can be linked from the common problems section ?
All the solutions are in the forums somewhere, it can just be a bit difficult to find them sometimes with just the search feature, as sometimes you don’t know what to search for. The obvious one for me was the different board pin outs. All I saw was a RN is a very odd lop-sided pose. So I searched for “odd position new build setup” and the like… I didn’t know to search for “version board PCB” etc …
Anyone object ? Or have a better idea ? Not sure what the netiquette is here for the wiki ... Thought I’d ask first …
