Hey guys, I have some boards I was going to send in for warranty replacement. It's been a while since I've done that, and I just wanted to check and see if evolv still has the same procedure, and address. Thanks a lot.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share their 250C Board/Screen holder file. I have seen some at shapeways, but I'm hoping to get a file, so that I might print the holder myself. Thank you!

https://www.facebook.com/groups/833944023366289/?ref=group_header This is not ran by evolv, just to be clear. Cynthia Howder is one of the admins, and she just mentioned today that she was looking for new admins, due to the release of new boards at the end of this year...anyway, you can read it!

Cynthia just posted something in the DNA group on facebook about how evolv is coming out with more than one new board at the end of this year....so I'm assuming she already knows. I think it's coming guys.

Woops, thank you!!

Hello, I understand with the DNA75 Color that the screen does not illuminate when connected via USB unless there is input voltage to the board, but what I am curious of is if you connect your bare bones DNA75 color to USB, do you get any notification within escribe? I believe my DNA75 Color board I received is DOA. No notification at all when connected via USB, regardless if there is or isn't input voltage to the board. Just wanted to check, before I send it in for RMA. Thank you.

Thank you!

Is the DNA250 also limited at 133 watts with a dual 18650 setup?

If you don't mind waiting our couple month lead time, we make a pretty bad ass dual 18650 custom box mod. We'll do whatever you want, and you can choose from thousands of colors. More info here if you're curious. Thank you ~shameless plug.

I just wanted you guys to know that evolv got in touch with me, and we resolved everything. The main problem was my own fault for not staying educated on where I'm sending my packages. Not being aware of evolv's move. Other than that, I don't think there would have been a problem. Finally my packages have arrived to evolv, the forwarding service sent them all over the place first, but looks like I should be getting them back soon. Thank you Evolv. Reputation untarnished.

A recent box we made. The engraving is on both sides of the box. DNA200!

Yeah, I can understand that. I am in Michigan, just a few hour drive from Evolv's home base. They moved? Uh oh... I better look into that. Ahhh you're right. The tracking on all my packages says forwarded. I guess they haven't even received them then. Well thank you for making me aware of that. I had asked them twice through help desk if they had received them, with no answer. Never even thought to look at my tracking. Well...evolv staff, do you seem to get your forwarded packages? Thank you.

Is anyone else waiting an unusually long amount of time for warranty boards to be returned? I've always raved about how wonderful Evolv customer support has been, whenever I had a dead board(s) I would send them off, and typically within a week or two evolv would have them coming back. It's gotta be close to six or eight weeks at this point since I sent out the first package of boards and after today I'll have shipped them a third package. Absolutely love evolv I just need my boards. (on another note, I was watching Seinfeld while at the shop, and they went to Akron, Ohio in the episode...ha!) Thank you Evolv, and anyone else for your input.

The box isn't in my hands, so I will refer the information, and we'll go from there. Appreciate the help guys.

The two black lines you see are battery pack voltage, and band gap. I'm pretty sure band gap is supposed to be over 1 volt, and this one just happens to be floating around .9 but never actually hitting 1 volt. This would be a good time to also ask, if band gap is below 1 volt is that a definite problem? The board is giving the customer all sort of problems, but most the time, the display will not turn on. Sometimes won't even connect to escribe. When it does connect the device display turns on though. Thank you for any help at all.

How long can you go!? Thank you for the help here. https://youtu.be/-NCzEnjsFfs

I can easily swap the board (maybe I'll swap some chips later when I get Cool Ranch and Nacho Cheese Doritos), just thought Evolv might say something like "OH! That's because this and this must be shorted, clean your solder up and see if it fixes it!" But that was only me wishing. Thank you.

I am loving this. I was thinking of doing the same thing, and to see your progress so far is really great. As far as the two points on the board that are for + and - in for USB, I checked, and as far as I know you will have to go the points right at the USB. I'm pretty sure the way I have them marked in this picture are correct (may have them reversed). Send 5 volts there and I believe you will be good to do. (You will also notice that the USB is made up of 5 contacts all together). Please do not take what I'm saying as fact, as I have wondered these same questions, only did not get far enough to ask evolv specifically.

Whenever I complete the circuit for the down button my board shuts off. Everything appears fine within escribe. It's a dual 18650 setup. I got to the point where I took apart the tactile button (external buttons) and now I have just the two wires from the board. When I touch the two wires, the board shuts off. I have been using this device the past couple days, and everything about it works great. Only when I want to change settings, I have to connect to escribe. Something else, if it's worth mentioning, I can swap the up and down buttons, and then use the "good working button" for up or down, that doesn't make a difference. Oh, also when I press the on board tactile down button, the board also shuts off. Have to pull the battery to get the board to turn back on. If I plug into usb, after the board shuts off this way, device monitor looks like it is working, but I still have no display on the board. Band gap is 1.07 volts. Then I take a battery out, put it back in, and all is well again. It's like the board would have no problems if I never needed to press down. Any ideas? Thank you.

I'm pretty sure the battery was taking no charge...but I will try again. I would appreciate evolv stepping in and sharing anything. Thank you.

For that setting, I use the watt hour calculator. And for every battery I've used, I still get the same result in terms of using the battery analyzer. For example for my 1000maH three cell Turnigy, it calculates 11.1 Wh, and for my 2200maH Zippy, I believe it ends up calculating 24.2 or something close to that.

I can not get the battery analyzer to begin. Is there something I'm missing? It always shows "waiting to be fully charged..." Despite being fully charged, this is the message I always receive. Any thoughts? Is there something I need to do first, that I am over looking? Thank you.

Loving it good job. What exactly did you use for the push button pieces? You mentioned screws, but that's not what those are right?

I love your Day of the Tentacle 3D models by the way vidalcris.

I would love a function that allows us to check the resistance of the coil. Hold "this" down, and the board will re-read the resistance. DNA's haven't ever had this, and I'm always wishing I could just read it. ...yes I know the display reads the current resistance, and unthreading and threading on, will allow the device to re-read if resistance is so far away etc. . I just want, what I described above, that's all.
