From 90a4f51f915cb78c5882299b8c68cadaf8fe0b6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert Ekl Date: Wed, 2 Sep 2026 11:28:51 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] docs: update stale repo URLs and build recipe The project moved to meshcore-dev/meshcore, but two links still pointed at ripplebiz/MeshCore: the GitHub Issues link in README and the git clone in the FAQ build instructions. Also fixes the FAQ build recipe: - `pio run -e RAK_4631_Repeater` does not exist; the env is spelled RAK_4631_repeater (variants/rak4631/platformio.ini:40). - LORA_FREQ was given as 867.5; the default in [arduino_base] is 869.618 (platformio.ini:29). Reworded to point at the flag rather than a value that drifts with the default preset. - Renamed the venv so it no longer collides with the cloned directory name. And one more env-name casing slip in the Raspberry Pi flashing instructions: `Heltec_V3_companion_radio_ble` should be `Heltec_v3_...`. Release artifacts are named directly from the env name (build.sh:147), and the two neighbouring examples in the same block already use the lowercase spelling. --- README.md | 2 +- docs/faq.md | 18 +++++++++--------- 2 files changed, 10 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index af56aaf3..6cc45d7f 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -123,6 +123,6 @@ There are a number of fairly major features in the pipeline, with no particular ## 📞 Get Support -- Report bugs and request features on the [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/ripplebiz/MeshCore/issues) page. +- Report bugs and request features on the [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/meshcore-dev/meshcore/issues) page. - Find additional guides and components on [my site](https://buymeacoffee.com/ripplebiz). - Join [MeshCore Discord](https://meshcore.gg) to chat with the developers and get help from the community. diff --git a/docs/faq.md b/docs/faq.md index c7d7a118..ade59bf0 100644 --- a/docs/faq.md +++ b/docs/faq.md @@ -537,18 +537,18 @@ Mac: python3 should be already installed.
