Original plan

start → Landing page (what/why, live map, links, order status)

hardware: → HARDWARE 

hardware:receiver          → The OTM node (ESP32-C5 board, versions v2, jumpers)
hardware:power             → Power: USB (either port, common +5V rail) vs PoE
                             (802.3af active / passive 7–58V, jumper positions)
hardware:antennas          → Standard PCB antenna + external antenna options,
                             connector type, gain, 5.9 GHz band notes
hardware:enclosure         → 3D-printed case (ASA), bottom.stl, screws M4x12 TX20,
                             LAN grommet, weatherproof mounting
hardware:leds              → LED meanings (SYS blink states, LAN-port LEDs),
                             brightness control, disabling LEDs
hardware:build-your-own    → DIY receiver (fill empfaenger_bauen): dev-board build,
                             Gerber/BOM/CPL, PCB fab

software: → SOFTWARE & CONNECTIVITY 

software:first-steps       → (migrate erste_schritte) unboxing, power + internet,
                             DHCP, minimal working setup
software:connectivity      → How to get data online: SPI-Ethernet (W5500/ENC28J60)
                             direct, USB→Raspberry Pi, USB→Android (cits-to-go),
                             FritzBox 3390, v2x2map, ESPHome/Home Assistant
software:mobile-setup      → Phone tethering: USB-Ethernet dongle + cable
                             (node cannot emulate a NIC), enable tethering AFTER
                             node is powered & linked, Android Auto use
software:node-registration → (keep) Self-Service Portal, MQTT connection string,
                             friendly name, show-on-map, heatmap
software:mqtt              → MQTT topics (its/nodeXXX/packet/json, .../stats),
                             subscribing to own node, live-stream vs buffering,
                             why C-ITS is real-time (paho-mqtt caveats)
software:home-assistant    → HA integration, sub-pub proxy / bridge pattern,
                             monitoring the node

reception: → RECEPTION & PLACEMENT 

reception:optimal-placement→ Height, line-of-sight, urban vs quiet areas
reception:interference     → 5 GHz Wi-Fi AP interference near 5.9 GHz, filters,
                             vertical separation, front-end desensitisation
reception:thermal          → Heat (>60 °C reports), causes, mitigation

c-its: → C-ITS BACKGROUND (fill c-its) 

c-its                      → What is C-ITS, message types (CAM, MAPEM, SPATEM…)
c-its:senders              → Which vehicles/infra send C-ITS (VW/Volvo, ASFINAG
                             retrofits, trams, Car2x traffic lights, signatures)

sightings: → SIGHTINGS / FIELD FINDINGS 

sightings                      → Landing: was gehört hier rein, wie eintragen,
                                 Legende (signatur ja/nein, OBU-only, etc.)
sightings:at:vienna            → Wien: Trams (Linie 2, MAC, ZN/Kurs), Ampeln, …
sightings:at:graz              → Graz: …
sightings:de:aachen            → Aachen: …
sightings:vehicles             → Fahrzeugmodelle die senden (Audi A5, VW-Pakete,
                                 Volvo) — modellbezogen statt ortsbezogen

api: → (fill api) map/data API, endpoints, data formats

faq → FAQ (see below)

community: → CONTRIBUTING 

community:contributing     → How to get edit rights, style, language policy
community:order            → Group order / Pretix, pickup (realraum Graz), shipping
