Questions? Answers.
Can Byte 90 integrate with AI capabilities?
While BYTE 90 was designed as a delightful art toy rather than an AI device, its ESP32 microcontroller foundation provides opportunities for expansion. Tech enthusiasts can integrate AI capabilities by adding hardware components (microphone, speaker, and audio encoder) and connecting to services like DeepSeek or ChatGPT APIs.
Is Byte 90 open source?
Byte 90's firmware is fully open source for learning and modification, while animations and 3D designs remain proprietary. Explore the code to understand its inner workings or customize it for personal projects. Support ongoing development by purchasing our dev kits, which include all components needed for customization.
Our GitHub repository contain the open source firmware, and details for DIY builds.
Why do international orders not include a battery?
International orders ship without batteries due to cross-border restrictions on hazardous materials transport. Local battery purchase required upon delivery.
What type of battery does Byte 90 use?
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.
Can I choose the animations?
Each Byte 90 edition comes with its own exclusive animations. While animations cannot be transferred between editions, you can personalize Byte 90's appearance by purchasing additional housing options.
Will you sell the 3D printed files?
While we embrace open source for our firmware, the 3D design files remain proprietary to maintain brand authenticity and consistent quality across all Byte 90 devices.
Will you provide instructions on how to assemble Byte 90?
Unassembled dev kits require soldering experience and electronics knowledge. These unassembled units are designed for those with existing technical skills. Not recommended for beginners despite our streamlined design approach.
How does device to device communication work?
The communication feature works exclusively in pairs. When purchasing for device-to-device communication, note that Byte 90 units can only interact with one other device at a time.
Does Byte 90 require a Wi-Fi connection?
Byte 90 operates completely offline with no data transmission or WiFi requirement. Internet connection only needed for occasional firmware updates.
Why an ESP32 S3?
The ESP32 S3 was specifically chosen for Byte 90 to deliver optimal performance with complex GIF animations. While lower-end controllers (ESP32 C3 or C6) could technically run the system, they lack the processing power and memory needed for smooth animation rendering, resulting in noticeable lag and diminished user experience.
