Also tried to contact operations@pointctrl.com but no response and my spam folder was empty too. Is there a chance to check if my preorder was valid?

Hey Hoot, The first 20 or so orders on the web site did not auto-send a confirmation. If you like, DM your order name, or the email you provided, and I can send a confirmation. Production is just now picking up and can be followed in the PointCTRL Discord also.

Ganesh Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Hello @MilesD and everyone else who knows anything about this nice piece of electronics Got hold of a used V1 to shorten the waiting time for V2. When i first fixed it to the HMD, the micro USB socket inside the HMS PCB broke off A weak point in my opinion. Now i want to solder the individual wires directly to the PCB because everything else (soldering the socket) makes no sense and is almost impossible. Now my question: is the PIN- assignment correct? Read from the entrance side from above looking at the PCB from left to right: 1 red - 2 white - 3 green - 4 ID (free) - 5 black Can I just leave 4 "ID/sense" blank, or do I have to connect it to ground (easy connection of 4 + 5) on the PCB side? Thanks in advance and greetings from Bavaria Edited May 27, 2021 by Ganesh regards Ganesh She: "Your orders from ED have reached a total amount of $871,88 and your hardware expenses are countless..."

MilesD Posted May 28, 2021 Author Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hey Ganesh, The ID is left unconnected. Good luck, and let us know how you make out. You are correct, the Micro USB is the weak point. The new HMS mounts have an integrated support.

Ganesh Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) DONE! And secured with a chunk of hot glue! Thank you for the tip with the alternative soldering points. At the base itself it would have been impossible. Worked perfectly!

Fri13 Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I feel little sorry for the OP about how many is ordering this stuff.

MilesD Posted June 17, 2021 Author Share Posted June 17, 2021 Hey Guys, I have had my head down working a firmware bug. I don't get frustrated easily, but this thing drove me crazy. It does not appear to follow any logic. Even after an apparent fix, I kept working it because I could not find the exact cause. I spent the last week troubleshooting the hardware to be sure there was not some hardware issue. Anyway I have not had any more reports of a hard reset (unpluging the FCU battery) being required, so I will start invoicing again Monday. Apologies for the delay.
