Byte 90 is powered by a 1200mAh 3.7V lithium battery (size 103040) with a PH 2.0 connector. The included mount accommodates only these dimensions. For alternative battery sizes, custom 3D-printed mounts are required, noting the housing's 45mm space limitation.

Please ensure you follow these checks before you plug in a battery to avoid any damages to Byte 90

Critical Safety Checks:

• Verify the battery is 3.7V not 3.9V
• Check polarity alignment - some batteries have reversed positive/negative positions on the connector
• Test that your battery functional and charged
• Handle the battery connect with extra care don't tug on it roughly
• Inspect the battery connector for damage - ensure it's still properly soldered

Byte 90 can run for up to 2 days on a full charge. It automatically manages battery life by entering deep sleep when not in use.

Byte 90 charges via the provided USB-C cable and requires 1-2 hours for a full charge. A red flashing light indicates charging is in progress, while a solid red light indicates charging is complete.

When Byte 90 enters setup mode, you can establish a local connection between your device and the unit. You'll be prompted to enter a password - the default password is 00000000

This is a current hardware limitation and there is no way to check battery percentage. This feature is in development for future releases.

There is no power switch on Byte 90. The device enters deep sleep when inactive and only turns off completely when the battery is depleted. If you need to power down Byte 90 entirely, you can disconnect the battery.

When you first receive your Byte 90, ensure it's fully charged. If the device doesn't turn on after connecting the battery, try powering it via the USB-C connection. If it still doesn't activate, please contact us for support.

Yes, you can power Byte 90 directly using the included USB-C cable without a battery. Please note that international orders do not include batteries due to shipping restrictions.

If your Byte 90 freezes and becomes unresponsive, you may need to perform a manual reset. Locate the two tiny buttons on the Byte 90 board labeled "Boot" and "Reset." Press the Reset button to restart the device. If this doesn't resolve the issue, contact us for support as you may need to reflash the firmware.

If you're experiencing random restarts, this indicates your Byte 90 has very low battery and cannot maintain power. To resolve this, connect the USB-C cable and charge for 1-2 hours.

Yes, but you'll need programming knowledge to implement new animations. While Byte 90 is developer-friendly, it requires coding skills rather than a no-code approach. The device maintains proprietary animations to ensure brand consistency.

Yes, with programming knowledge you can develop custom firmware for Byte 90. The device runs on an ESP32 S3 microcontroller with Arduino framework. You're free to modify the open source firmware if you have the technical expertise. Contact us if you need to restore the original firmware.

The 3D files and animations are not open source. They remain proprietary for brand consistency and maintain brand authenticity. As a product designer, it's essential to protect original designs and creations to support ongoing development and future iterations of the product.

If you purchased the unassembled version of Byte 90, soldering and electronics knowledge is required. While the assembly is straightforward, we don't provide technical support in this area. Consider watching tutorials on soldering and ESP32 microcontroller interfaces before proceeding.
