  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Anyone know what these are? Five little contacts on the top of the body, aft of the vent. I haven't seen any accessories that make contact here except top plates... which as far as I know are all just dumb parts.

I *think* I once read they were temperature sensor & motor contacts for a possible additional top fan which could be used in some configurations. Obviously not yet released or even announced.

But I could be imagining it.

EDIT hmmm teardown pics...

Hmmm... thin traces for data, thick ones for power? I'd expect something rather different for an RF aerial connection. And look carefully: 'TOP FAN' on the cable is a bit of a giveaway! Seems my memory was correct.

Go guess crazy... what else would you likely want to put up there?

A/V out for wireless transmitter +/or alternative monitor connection.
Rangefinder?
