Some practical advices :- Work in peace and with adequate lighting : welding the wrapping on the
microcontroller or the tracks of the FrSky module require an accurate gesture.- Do not hesitate to identify the cables with annotated tape paper, removed when the
work is done, it may prevent some mistakes.- Final inspection before closing the radio : plug the programmer on the radio and test
the electrical continuity of the entire wiring (programmer to microcontroller). In thesame time, it verifies that there is no inversion of wiring.
- Using a 5 V low drop voltage regulator allows to set the low batterie alarm at 6 Vintead of 7 V and so significantly increase the time of use with a LiPo 2S battery.
