it looks like from your limited photos that the plastic bit on the dupont connector is on the PCB, would it gain you any clearance to remove that plastic piece and clip the pins a bit?
I’d try that, and maybe even depin-ing the receiver dupont fitting and put the heatshrink isolated connectors on the PWM pins… (maybe even fabricated a specialty plug)… fuck bending up PCB pins
EDIT:
I see from your latest pik at least you’re looking in this direction…
With that Janpom thread about his board that caught fire I’m feeling the same way about my battery pack
If you have to make that work, I would bend it more so it’s not forcing itself against the top, conformal coat, coat in liquid electrical tape and then silicone it…
Also, (I would) skip emailing Jeff.
He sent those to you knowing full well what they looked like. I don’t think he deserves your respect through correspondence
those plastic stand-offs on the PWM duponts should just slide off the PCB pins… you’re almost there… slide those daddy’Os off, heat shink the exposed connectors, slide them on the PCB pins and add your epoxy (or jb weld) of your choice to make a new connector…
So everyone. Most of the Telegram group probably already saw it but i texted Jeff, urging him to come back to fix what he has done (Jed related shitshow), his current waiting customers and well look at my not so nicely worked on neobox.
I showed Jeff the pictures you guys saw here and Jeff told me he is going to replace the Neobox with the broken PCB. He assumes that it happened while snapping off the other side and that it wasn’t very clean.
Is it going to be just the pcb with the “testers batch” CQ or the final production unit including the case? I don’t know yet. If it’s going to be the production batch i can compare the 2 and see what actually improved.
Please for the love of god put some heat shrink on those, the case should be grounded so if the pins move around and touch each other or the case you might get toasted. The vibrations make make them wobble around when on the road
I would put another layer of heat shrink one big enough that could cover all three of them at once so that with the vibration there was 1 more layer protecting them from rubing on the case
