Well, wish i saw these posts sooner. I confirm that de-soldering a BMS results in its death... and consequent bricking of the whole battery. I wish someone would perhaps prepare a tutorial on refurbing a d5 battery. I suppose there are some points on the pcb that power could be soldered onto to keep...

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback. Out of curiosity, if you still have it, would you mind sharing the size of your RobotLogs folder on the USB drive? I'm trying to get an idea of what sizes amount to what install times. Also wondering if the cheapo stick was low capacity. My first test, my RobotLogs...

It works! Thanks Guys! I simply placed eyespy's file in a folder named "RobotData" on a fat32 formatted usb stick (mine has a dual connector including a micro usb so no otg adapter required) and about an hour or so later it updated :) I previously tried on a cheapo usb stick with the otg a...

ok, so I found the specs: Laser Parameters.• Wavelength 785 nm• Pulse Rep Frequency 1.8 kHz• Pulse Duration 200 usec• Peak Power 2.1 mW• Beam Diameter 2.3 mm• Beam Divergence -1.5 mrad The beam divergence is a lot different from the older Neato models, hence why the older diodes aren't compatible. N...

You can buy the laser diode from eBay. https://www.ebay.ca/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=neato+laser+diode&_sacat=0 Well, some of the ebay listing specifically state that it is not for the D5 and D3. The others look like the same item, without the warning. Hence why I was...

Hi, I just swapped the diode and it worked fine. Got any info on the diode ?

Hi, one of my Neato D5 started coming up with error 4000. After spending most of the day disassembling it and its brother, it appears that the laser diode had failed (when I swap it over it works) Anyone know of its specs (wavelength and power) or where I can purchase the diode alone?
