*SCAM ALERT* neoBOX open source Focbox variant (HW 4 and HW6 Design)

Assuming quiet is good… At least for me, only thing not giving me too much trouble is the ESCs themselves. I’ve stopped uploading logs, its kinda pointless to see a million logs with no issues.

Yeah tbh testers haven’t really had issues, going on a extended range test/shakedown this weekend to try and lure the gremlins out.

I got a question for all the testers… what firmware have you all been running? Acks 3.02 ran well for a while, then switched to DEV 5.0 and both run great with no major issues outside the usual minor quirks in the firmware itself.

Hello friends. Many have been reporting very good result for testing the neoBOX. We have also been testing with our neoONE boards and are very happy with the result. Because of this we now plan to finish testing phase Monday and full production stage start short after.

We have taken feedback and will be making some change for production, but only minor change which not affect test units. But from reports, we change below:

  • neoBOX 6 will change to XT90 battery connector
  • neoBOX case is shrink height back to 22/23mm and for PWM connector we change to JST type and include cable for easier connecting.
  • neoBOX will be assemble inside case first before adding glue for capacitor.
  • All solder for wires check to make sure is no cold solder and clean joints.
  • All wires from case include rubber seal to protect from water and dust into case.
  • We change standoff to harder material instead of brass.
  • Thermal pad change to 1.5mm thickness.
  • We will acrylic conformal coat PCB to protect from moisture.
  • neoBOX 4 PCB will be blue and neoBOX 6 PCB red.

We also building test jig so we can test each one easier and more reliable.

This reasonable acceptance was not what I expected. I am defeated.

I was gonna say that hahaha. I don’t mind what number I get. As long as it’s in the first prod batch and it survives in my 13s setup.
