Hey, It's me again. :) I'm really not sure what is happening, but there might also be a fault with my QL. :D IMG_20231205_122620.jpg At the bottom left side there is a cut trace, but I'm not sure if this is some sort of mod or it is a fault. I'm still struggling with my damn wires :D and I'm not sur...

Another update, I guess the contact cleaner dried out and it lost contact again, I'll have to add some solder to the points of the wire termination. But I think I'll manage. Just out of curiosity, what type of wires do other people use for the connection? :) And thank you once again, I'm looking for...

I tried to beep out the connections in case there was any bad connections, but i don't seem to find any issues. Can just someone please confirm, that the connection points on this PCB way image are correct ...

Now that I think about it, the error is inconsistent and I saw it before but not always, so I'm thinking it may be the noise. I'll shorten the wires...

Hello thank you for your answer, I have the internal one with raspberry Pi zero W: https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/OqtaDrive_QL_v1_2_5bca1c12.html The connection is made via approx 10cm long breadboard protoboard jumper wires, which has me worried a bit, as they are thin and the speaker ...

Please also find attached a full log.

Hello first time poster here, first of all thank you for this wonderful project! I'm having issues with my build (dir mdv1_ returns not found on my QL), I went the hard way, because i tried the image, written with the raspberry pi image writer, but it did not work even with multiple different SD car...
