Improve this guide

• Suggest validated supplier or component substitutions
• Share board revision and software environment
• Post reproducible firmware builds, wiring diagrams and measurements
• Document errors, successful tests and unresolved risks

Engineering caution: Not for safety-critical remote control or actuators.

Please be specific and label unverified approaches.
