FAQs

What happens if I have problems during construction?

You should read the construction manuals as downloaded from this site prior to purchase and construction. If you feel that the construction of this kit is beyond your skills, please return the unopened contents of the kit for a refund. Unfortunately I can not refund kits after construction has commenced. I do however have a "build a kit" service if you need help in assembly. This can be either building the case or building the electronics, or both! Email me at philippawlowski at hotmail dot com.

What's this open source thing?

For those interested in programming, and adding features to OSCA, the firmware and annotated code is freely downloadable for your modification. The user agreement for modifying existing firmware is in the construction manual. Note that the electronic design, all manuals and instruction booklets, and PCB artwork is copyright and must not be reproduced or re sold in any way. Please read the user agreement in the manual carefully. The firmware code can be downloaded here:

18X code for MD and HD 2000 series V1.1

08M code for MD and HD 2000 series V1.1

08M code for TA 2000 series V1.1 (soon to be released)

Do you offer technical support for either constructing the case or the electronics?

Sure, this is more of a hobby for me than a money making exercise. I'm proud of people using my design. As time allows, I would be more than happy to offer construction advice, either via E-mail or via phone. Email is preferred but customers can contact me on 0421105951.

Which product has feature x,y,z?

Check the product comparison guide for a quick overview of each products inclusions and features.

Can you add feature x,y,z?

I will be adding features as we go. Email me with a request, and who knows, it might just be in the next firmware version.

Do you have a local dealer in my area?

Not just yet. Would you like to become one? Email me at philippawlowski at hotmail dot com and we'll talk.

Need more help?

The OSCA project is in its early days. Once there is a big enough pool of users, a users forum will be opened on www.yahoogroups.com
