Question about the builder and parts, generally but maybe mostly to devs/reviewers of parts:

What part categories are lacking the most - is it receivers/FCs/ESCs/sensors/something else?

(Mainly looking for where you would like me and others to focus most on trying to add parts as opposed to what I've been doing so far: just grab something I want to work on randomly.)

Duplicate part found (I think)

"TBS Crossfire Nano RX FPV Long Range Drone Receiver"

&

"TBS Crossfire Nano 900MHz Receiver w/CRSF Micro Antenna"

TBS doesn't make two versions named like that from what I can see on their page, and if images of the products in the builder are rotated they seem to match perfectly.

See attached screenshots & link below.

Ps, please advice if you want me to stop reporting duplicates and or want me to report them in some other way than "spamming" the #suggestions when I find them. <3

Duplicate parts in the builder.

There are now duplicate parts either imported or manually added, example:

SpeedyBee F405 is listed as having 3 versions.

Problem:

Only 2 exist.

(The F405 Wing APP & F405 Wing MINI (The name of the imported parts suggests 3 exist but that's probably due to naming issues from rotor riot or the source of the imported parts))

Consequence:

We now have multiple ppl working on a part that doesn't even really exist.

Verifiable via SpeedyBees own website, see screenshots and links below.

Suggestion for Builder:

Add a function to mark a part as problematic/incorrect/legacy/etc and be able to add comments to it so future creators of parts don't spend time on something that is either incorrectly named or imported.

Reasoning: there are now parts in the builder imported - I assume, from rotor riot.

Example:

This part "Holybro Tekko32 F4 Metal 32Bit 65A 30x30 4in1 ESC" that has been updated and the imported version is as far as I can find, no longer sold with the imported design and specs - like the firmware etc.

Suggestion for Builder

Components that have a wire and not just pads: when the feature opens up to allow us to submit own pictures, could this be a possible workaround? See my attached photos, basically: Clear picture of the component with the end of the wire on top of the part on one side?

(Obviously with better placement of the connector etc to not block as much - these are just example photos.)
