Are you using SP3? If so perhaps revert it to this for getting the value of mod resistance then return it to SP3 when done. *** 2016-02-29 EScribe 1.0.42 *** Sorry, I don't recall the FW version but it's included with the Escribe 1.0.42

Have you tried charging with another USB cable?

Download the preheat.csv and add it to materials in the left pane of EScribe's materials then add to mod (right pane) and upload to mod.

That's because it is a DNA200, there is no DNA133 board, just the 200 running at 133 watts.

Yes, but the latest (SP3) covers all the Escribe capable boards.

I have NiFe 48 from here: https://www.zivipf.com/epages/63862298.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/63862298/Products/NiFe48-0.50/SubProducts/NF48-0.50-10m They list TCR as 400, also it's 52% Ni but they call it "48". Crazy wire has both 48 and 52, I'm "interested" with your results.

The suggested 3400 would be 0.0034

Gee I see it. I'm surprised it's just now being caught. I think it would be safe to just use the pin name. Others will answer soon I believe. I have no hands on with either board.

Great news. It's not so much max resistance as it is max voltage......9 volts. 0.5 ohms hot could yield 162 watts. I'm kind of guessing here a bit. http://www.the12volt.com/ohm/ohmslawcalculators.asp

It will probably just eliminate it as the cause, I hope it does it for you though.

Just my opinion but I would flash it to the "2016-02-29 EScribe 1.0.42" and measure the mod resistance and use that value. Then flash it back to SP3.

Great news

75's are all the same.

If you had a 0.08 ohm coil that you wanted to power at 50 watts the 75 will do that, I'm pretty sure the 60 would not. Or if you had a 1.0 ohm coil that you wanted to power at 50 watts the 60 will do that but not the 75.

I bought some 317L a few weeks ago so I could have some experience with the SS3xx but my SS430 works so good I just can't bring myself to change to it.

Did it charge OK prior to a couple of days ago?

I really don't have an answer but do have a couple of questions. Have you tried a different cable or perhaps a different power source? Edit: cable must be OK, it's reading the USB's voltage. Did you change the USB current from the "Diagnostics" tab in Device Monitor to zero by chance? Does the mod work?

It's in the bottom right corner of device monitor under the the Diagnostics tab. On the 200/250 you can set what you want (max), on the 75 you turn it on or off. The adjustment is made to the mod not EScribe (no upload required). Just remember to set it back when your done, it will use it's setting with a wall wart so if you left it turned off it will not charge.

Realistically your watt hours for those will be about 27 -28 Wh, keep in mind that the 200 was designed to use a lipo pack so you won't be taking those 18650s down to the 2.5 volts as that's what was done to achieve their 3000 mah rating. The hardware cutoff is 28.5 volts on the 200. I set my soft cell cut off to 2.9 volts when using 18650's in a 200.

Your batteries are near depleted, what batteries are they and what's your watt hours set to? Post a screen shot of device monitor showing your cell voltages.........after you charge them perhaps.

So I set out to test my SDNA75 with LG HD2 18650 with my Velocity @75 watts....I eventually gave up (at 34 drags) as it just isn't my thing but here are the screens at the start and my finish. It seemed to do quite well I thought. But the flashing battery icon was coming soon...@ 2.75 volts.

Probably better than average.

I paid $80 USD for mine, they list for double that. Sounds like a deal to me.

Here also, depending on shipping charges they may be a bit less than Amazon. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PortaPow-Specialised-3-3ft-20AWG-Charge-Only-Micro-USB-Cable-2-Pack-New-/282068762006?hash=item41ac9bbd96:g~oAAOSwepJXYQK7

I think quite a few of them have the screen off a bit, mine's not too bad but is crooked. I have 3 Bellus' and all of them screw flush as well as anything else I tried fit flush. By pushing in the 510 pin on the mod with a small rod does it seem to have the expected travel?
