My RTK FACET L-BAND BATTERY wasn’t charging so I pushed the usb-c cable into it with a bit more force and the green light came on and then the usb-c port broke off the external connector card. I need another external connector card for the Facet RTK L-Band but it isn’t available for sale seperately.
I am happy to send you a new connector board. Please PM me.
But what happened? The EC1, EC2, Qwiic, and possibly Ext1 and Ext2 connectors look destroyed as well. Please tell us a fantastic story of destruction.
The Qwiic connector was damaged when I purchased your Micro OLED Breakout card a few months back because I couldn’t read the one on this RTK Facet L-Band being used as my base because of the sun’s glare. Problem was when I tried to disconnect it the second time I used it, two of the pins broke off with the cable. I’m using the units about 3 times a week in the field and was using the serial telemetry radios instead of Ntrip with cellular since my previous carrier updated their system and my units wouldn’t connect to the cellular hotspot, I just purchased your RTK Reference Station and with a laptop and change of cellular phone carriers, I can use the Terra Term to connect to a nearby earthscope reference station in rover mode to get fix and then start my base station to connect to my RTK Facet rover through a different Ntrip client and server site. I wasn’t using the Qwiic connection and it didn’t seem to cause any issues until I couldn’t get the battery to charge through the usb-c connection on the RTK Facet L-Band but was still able to use the usb-c connection to connect to the terminal. I pushed the usb-c cable into the socket with a little bit of force and the green light came on and it began to charge. I used a little bit too much force just recently and the usb-c connector broke off the board. The rest of the damage is from being a bit careless with the disassembly, since this card was basically toast at that point. The connector cables are in pristine condition and the mainboard card is too.
Excellent! Sounds like you’re really using it. We’ll get that board out to you today.
Adding an external display: I thought you must have been wrong. Having two identical devices on the I2C bus should cause havoc, but right you are. I can run two displays at the same time. It’s a happy accident that it works, but it does! Nice hack!
