Quality Control Enhancements

The company also mentioned some changes in the quality-control phase of developing such controllers, as in the previous weeks, they investigated quality-control issues. Statistically, around 0.8% of 2000 delivered units suffered a USB connector issue. This led to enhancing the soldering process of the USB connector by increasing the soldering temperature and time in the machine.

Moreover, the team also took all the steps to avoid cosmetic issues and familiarised the assembly team with the real FCU unit. The shipping package also received an overhaul, with additional protective measures and better protection during transit.

The deliveries of this wave of pre-orders should take place in March this year. If you would like to get your MiniFCU, you can use our affiliate link to get 10% off, or just type in promo code “FSNEWS” at checkout.
