Warranty coverage is VOID if the damage is caused by:

  1. Misuse: Incorrect installation, reverse polarity, or exceeding voltage limits.

  2. Unauthorized Modification: This explicitly includes soldering, cutting pins, modifying the PCB, or flashing unauthorized/beta firmware that "bricks" the device.

  3. Physical Damage: Drops, moisture/water damage, or electrical surges (lightning).

  4. Normal Wear & Tear: Consumable parts (e.g., batteries), unless defective upon arrival.

FAQ

What is the difference between Wireless and Lite?

The Wireless version includes a Raspberry Pi 4 built-in, allowing it to run standalone without a computer. The Lite version connects to your Mac, Linux, or Windows computer via USB and uses your computer for processing. Both versions have the same mechanical design and audio/video capabilities.

How long does assembly take?

Most users report 1.5–2 hours for assembly. The kit comes with pre-printed parts and clear step-by-step video instructions. No soldering required!

Can I upgrade from Lite to Wireless later?

The electronics architecture is different between versions, so a direct upgrade isn't possible. However, you can always purchase the Wireless version separately if you want standalone capabilities.

What software is included?

All software is open-source and free. You get access to the Python SDK, desktop dashboard, and the entire library of community-built applications on Hugging Face Spaces.
