As above.... If you didn't have a 2B, what power box would you use? Any stereo audio able boxes for .mp3 .mp4 files?

The ABox.... it came before the 2B....and before that was the Series 1 (but that didn't do audio). but the boring answer that most people will give is going to be a ET312. The are surprising enough not that many commercially products e-stim units that do audio.

I don’t do stereostim devices. Building my own pulse stim box would have been the most likely solution. Then again, I am still thinking about building my own device currently even with the 2B.

Riddle,

Why do you want to DIY a Box? Please.... What do the Retail offers lack?

Reddit has multiple posts on current Box's short cummings.

Software control of every single pulse individually and internal mp3 player with 1TB SD card support.

Mainly because people never really know what they want, and keep with the idea that every unit should be a 312 clone. The 2B is not a 312 and has never been so, we had a different design idea - stereo stiming using music for instance, and a few people basically think that if its not what they are looking for, or what they think they are looking for then it is deficient in some way. When you point out the differences, then people effectively say that not what THEY are looking for. So I would not say the 2B has short comings, the 2B is different to a 312 or any other unit.
Does the 312 have the ability to record and playback session files? or edit them? or play across the internet? or update firmware? Nope, so plenty of shortcomings in the 312 based on those metricts, and it weights 3 times as much as a 2B, costs twice as much and has dubious support.

All units will have limitations its down to the user to decide what fits their needs

I agree with Si there. Why would someone expect the 2B to be the same as the 312? I believe I could do customer relations well as long as I didn’t have to deal with customers.

There is nothing wrong with the 2B and the company that makes it. Still, somebody will have to think that something is wrong.

Also, I am tired of hearing about the 312 as if it is the only way to make an estim power box. During technical discussions on possible DIY pulse output stages, some people have the nerve to suggest a circuit design is wrong because it is not the 312 design. How does that thinking even occur?


*This is not the forum for discussing estim circuitry!
