docs: point at FCC internal photos for checking a PCB before opening it - #70

Conversation
Levoit's filings live under FCC grantee 2ARBY (Arovast Corporation) and most include internal photos of the bare board - enough to answer the "ESP32-plus-MCU?" question, spot the Wi-Fi module and find the test pads without buying or disassembling anything. The philips-900-series write-up already leaned on the MXCHIP filing the same way; this generalises it. Added to the three places it is actionable: - docs/adding-a-new-device.md step 1, with the grantee table and known IDs - devices/README.md, where models are browsed - components/levoit/README.md, where disassembly is introduced Notes the two traps: the hyphenation is inconsistent (CORE-300S but CORE600S) so IDs cannot be guessed from model names, and internal photos are sometimes held under short-term confidentiality while schematics are usually permanently confidential.

fccid.io/2ARBY is Arovast Corporation — the entity behind Levoit/VeSync — and most of their filings include internal photos of the bare PCB.
That answers the "is it an ESP32 talking to a separate MCU?" question, shows the Wi-Fi module and often the test pads, before buying a device or taking one apart. The philips-900-series write-up already leaned on the MXCHIP filing this way; this generalises it.
