Most things you can currently find in online shops are imitations that look the same at first glance, but some have cheaper electronic components soldered on
and do not work properly.
When ordering, it is very important to look carefully at the product images and to check the markings on the electronic components on the circuit board.
If the image quality is so poor, that you cant read the markings - DO NOT ORDER from this store.
If the markings are the ones we are looking for: ask the the store to confirm these markings.
It happend to me, that I didnt recive the exact product as shown in the product pictures, but a diffrent one with the wrong electronic components on it.
Even if I ordered from a store from which I initially received a suitable product, I sometimes received a different product with the second order.
I didn't include a link for the ESP32 microcontroller and capacitive soil moisture sensor because I had some bad experiences when ordering them and I don't
want to be responsible if this happens to others.
Here's what to look for with each component:
Wemos LOLIN 32 Development board
watch out for undersized LDO's and JST PH connector (watch my Youtube video for more details),
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNNzLwCidCE
Good markings: S2RY, S2RK, S2MD, S2PC, S2SL, S2TD (thats an ME6211 LDO)
Bad markings: 4A**, 4B** (thats an XC6204 or XC6205 LDO)
Capacitve Soil Moisture Sensor
watch out for correct 555 Timer chip, present 662k LDO and correct positioning of via hole (watch my Youtube video for more details)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGP38bz-K48
Good markings: TL555C, TL555Q, TL555I
Bad markings: NE555
If you don't want to order all parts individually: I'm thinking of offering all the parts for Flaura as a kit in the future if enough people are interested. To find
out, I created a short Google form that you can fill out if you would like to buy such a kit.

Note on connecter types:
Globally speaking, there seem to be different opinions what male and female connectors are, also among sellers of these parts.
Better make sure the product you want to buy matches those in my videos.
