From 54a3859dd772b9d6d984ed9e6dd6dcf9fd70471a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ryan Turner Date: Mon, 2 Dec 2024 21:05:19 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] Suggest against SX1276 devices (#1613) * fix(hardware-devices): clarify that at this point, SX1276 devices are not recommended. This is a minor tweak in wording to emphasize that SX1276 isn't OK, it's bad, by new standards in performance. * Update docs/hardware/devices/index.mdx Co-authored-by: pdxlocations <117498748+pdxlocations@users.noreply.github.com> --------- Co-authored-by: pdxlocations <117498748+pdxlocations@users.noreply.github.com> --- docs/hardware/devices/index.mdx | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/docs/hardware/devices/index.mdx b/docs/hardware/devices/index.mdx index e0f8a102..7046e65e 100644 --- a/docs/hardware/devices/index.mdx +++ b/docs/hardware/devices/index.mdx @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ Please do your research and choose the board that meets your needs (or maybe alr :::info -- The Semtech SX1262 transceiver is newer than the SX1276 and provides increased receive and transmit performance. +- Devices using the previous-generation Semtech SX1276 are no longer recommended due to their inferior performance. - nRF52-based devices use a fraction of the power compared to ESP32-based devices and are therefore generally preferred for solar and handset applications. - ESP32-based devices require more power to operate but are typically lower-cost alternatives that do perform well when using house power, or for handsets that only require a day or two of runtime, and for applications that require WiFi connectivity.
