Is it possible to make a big business out of the new OpenBCI WIFI shield?

Last Updated on January 14, 2023 by pg@petergamma.org

Several sellers on Aliexpress sell updated WIFI shields in different variants. What they do not offer are GERBER files.

There are costumers which are interested in the new WIFI shield. The treads started two years ago, and there is no credible solution visible.

Currently there are two costumers of which we know that they are interested in the WIFI shield. One customer is stellarpower who bought his WIFI shield on ebay, and he had realiability issues with it, which he documented in the OpenBCI forum.

Many of the problems stellarpower had could be avoided, if he knew before all the information we published here, since we are since a longer period of time interested in the WIFI shield, and we also be on the long term interested in it.

We will not update the OpenBCI documentation regarding this topic, since we did not yet see through the organisation structure of OpenBCI. Is such a structure necessary at all? Google can help solve many problem, if we google for the solution.
