yeah, was definitely on my list of concerns when I designed the board. So far all of our samples have come back reflowed correctly, The solder mask has quite a large opening so it doesn’t seem to be a problem. The test jig performs a thermal test which watches the rate of temp rise during a high current test so we should catch any poorly soldered fets pretty easily.

Sorry if this is a noob question, but it is specific to the Unity.
How would one go about wiring a battery meter to the unity if using the included switch? Specifically, could you wire it so it turns off and on with the unity?
Is that what the AUX port is for?
If you look closely at the top left part of the PCB @Deodand posted above, there exists a connection for a battery LCD. I think that’s where you plug it in? I’m not entitely sure, just based on observation.

Aha! Which aligns with the “aux” port on the schematics diagram he posted earlier in the thread, so that makes sense.

He has high hopes…much like CarvOn and OnLoop. I have my fingers crossed. Depending on Chinese factories often means missed dates and quality issues that needs to be fixed. At this moment, I’m assuming the typhoon probably push dates back a few weeks. Hopefully this doesn’t go as far as Lunar New Year.
We will ship pre-orders as soon as they are ready. It’s possible right now they are ready before November, but most likely sometime during November is the ship date. It is hard for me to imagine a scenario where the unity isn’t ready to ship before 2019. The BOM for 1k units is already on order and the PCBs will be ordered as soon as we complete testing for production test units. The unity isn’t a full Eskate build it’s just a PCB with a case, so it’s much less complicated than the Raptor 2 logistically because there’s simply less pieces/challenges to consider. Don’t expect Raptor 2 level delays, but there’s always a small chance some detail trips us up for a few weeks. Once production sample testing is completed (2 weeks from now) we can provide a more accurate estimate. I’ll continue posting updates as they come

Do you know for how long the Unity will be on sale ?
10xMilled heat sinks, all that’s left is laser etching. Can’t wait to get these samples in!

Most likely until they hit their minimum order requirements/budget of year or quarter. One of those on-going type of sales tactic

Are those milled cases going to be waterproof? I wanna use it for off road mountainboarding
mackann- Do you happen to have a discount code you can send me? Really appreciate it
