Here is a reference how it should look
@skud-surfboard yours also looks like it’s in an incorrect position
Hi Ludwig,
I’ve just started putting mine together today and have been reading the latest posts and my connector is also further forward compared to the picture you posted. Should I continue or get in contact with Jasmin for a replacement?
Here is mine:
Thanks,
James
Hi James,
Please contact Jasmin, this is indeed a problem
Thanks. I will do this now.

My (our) vote goes for:
Why? We already have a box named like this, and we still have some room left in it ![]()
How about the Ludbox
I too am going with “Random Useful Junk (Probably)”
I have a big box of just this. It is like a treasure trove of random Efoil bits.
My favourite is the one from silica gel:
Do not eat
To all the hoarders around here: Random Useful Junk (Probably) !!
@JasminRM and @ludwig_bre ,
I have a second Bremote v2 kit on order due to arrive tomorrow with a plan to build and pair up to my current tow boogie so my son can use it as well as me.
If I hold off building the kit, would I be able to order extra parts to integrate the gps follow me feature when it becomes available? Just trying to determine if the follow me gps is an add on or whether it needs a completely new kit.
Many thanks,
James
The follow me requires a GPS module in Rx and Tx
For Rx there is no change
For Tx the Top PCB needs some components removed and a wire added, and you need a different 3D printed part.
Thats all, and is described here:
Thanks for this.
In the rx is it the gps module that is currently already for sale as an option with the Bremote v2 on openfoil? If so, I already have that.
I’ll then need an extra gps module for me rx, the connector plus the printed part. Correct?
Thanks,
James
Sadly no
You will need 2x GPS module, they come with the connectors, and the 3D printed part
Ok. No problem. I’m very happy that this feature is coming.
Dear Ludwig,
is the final GPS module the Bn-220?
Great feature, thanks!
Regards,
Robert
This is the current favorite, yes. But I cannot 100% confirm this as the development is still going on.
