I've built 4 mods so far: 2 with the DNA20, and two with the OKR/T-6 chip. Each took about a week to build, working on them 1-2hrs a day, usually late at night after the family went to bed. I was in no hurry to finish and took my time to fit the components in the best possible layout.
Thanks for both of your replies! it seems the times I post a question I then decide not to check this site for a couple day, I'm not sure why I do that. I was thinking it would take me a few days, I'm in no hurry either. Did either of you have experience with this type of work beforehand? I've got pretty much everything I need, I've just got buttons and and the 20ga wire on the way. I was also wondering how much time was spending planning out how to fit everything in the enclosure. I'm curious as to whether or not I'm overthinking how everything should be done and it's going to be one of those projects I just stare at.
DrMA, I was curious as to how much more complicated an OKR build is as opposed to a dna.
Had done some soldering before, never built a mod. Spent about a week researching and considering different components. Spent a week learning qcad and laying everything out.
I did have experience with soldering and electronics.
The OKR build is quite a bit more complicated than the DNA. There are multiple external components to connect and the wiring is a bit more intricate. You also need 2 batteries in series. In contrast, the DNA is a standalone board and only requires some wiring.
with zero experience in electronics, I built Mamu's Arlo over about 3 weeks time (I began before I got all my parts), but it was in fits and starts. I probably put in about 12 solid hours total.
I could probably get it done in 4-5 hours now that I know what I'm doing, but I seriously could not make a living doing it.
