Frequently asked

Questions and answers

What do I need to build BKOS?

An ESP32-S3 with a 7-inch 800 × 480 screen, plus add-on boards with an ATtiny for switching and measuring. The build guide with a parts list is still being written; meanwhile the GitHub repositories contain the code and schematics.

How do I update the software?

The onboard computer regularly checks GitHub for a new version and fetches it over WiFi. Use the installer for the first flash.

The device does not start properly. Now what?

Tap the middle of the screen during start-up to open the recovery menu. There you can start up, remove BKOS or run an update, without a USB cable.

I found a bug.

Report it as an issue on GitHub, or send me a message. Mention the version, what you did and what happened.

May I sell BKOS or install it for others?

Not without talking first. I handle commercial use myself or by agreement with you. See the Build with me page.

Is BKOS for sale?

Not yet. If you would like it to happen, let me know through the contact form. The more I hear about what people want, the better I can decide.

Report a bug

Technical problems and requests belong on GitHub, so others can find them too.
