Warning: Impressions are written from a new user / first timer perspective. Bulleted recommendations are from my own perspective.
Received the package. The 3.2 board looks good quality.
- Needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Took a few goes with Electrolube Fluxclene and a nail-brush to get the residue off.
Wasn't too impressed with case endplates - different materials and the rear plate wasn't machined to take the seals. Seal needed trimming to fit around clamping plates. Screws were ambiguous...
- Paint endplates black to match case, and ensure machining is done (QA).
- Change screws for some stainless allen head cap-screws. 8 packaged together.
- Black seals too please.
Spent some time in wiki looking for where to start building/testing. Couldn't quite find where to begin the required assembly (if any). Searched for specifics on functions I knew I'd need - serial, idle stepper, WBO2, injector drivers.
- Clear link from board description page to a step-by-step assembly guide. Big arrow / start here / etc.
- More pictures needed in wiki. Any fuses or components that may need to be added should have a photo as well as a description. Eg, the stepper chip.
Soldered on a 3-pin header for serial communications. Didn't see an obvious description of how to connect serial via the EC.
Soldered on the stepper driver.
