[Is this voltage drop reasonable?]

[Is this voltage drop reasonable?]

Here is a picture of the device monitor. It is a total of 0.48 voltage drop while firing.  Is this normal?

[75c single cell wiring]

I just linked the ground and b- together, solved.

[75c single cell wiring]

I think im over thinking it, im going to do positive down, so it would be wiring the B- to the 510 contact plate but i still need the ground ring.

[75c single cell wiring]

I am building a squonk box orca 21700  single cell and am wondering what is the best way to wire the B+, do i just solder it on the pos contact that is held by the 510?  The boxes I have made so far have all been lipos, thanks!

[huge battery sag on full battery]

Thanks VB, it was just the positive connection nut needed to be tightened. I guess from screwing the cap on and off, putting pressure on the on the pos contact loosens it overtime.

I converted my xvostick 40 to a dna 60 and even with a full battery 4.2 when i take a puff it goes down to 2.7v.

[dna 60 small screen]

thanks

[dna 60 small screen]

I hesitated to get a small screen version and now they are out. Will there be any more made? Want to replace the dna40 in my xvostick but the usb charge board will give some trouble i think. Thanks.

[DNA 60]

Option ROM and it would need a hearing aid battery to save settings like CMOS on computer lol. I would just set the resistance on a profile and it would be saved right?

[Finally happy with SS temp control, question between types.]

If you don't mind using 28 gauge wire, give 430ss wire a try, its more accurate than 316 and $10 for 200ft.

[USB Charging Board for dna60]

Anyone have a picture of the charging board or dimensions? I am trying to fit this in a xvostick but afraid the usb charger wont fit and will have to cry myself to sleep.

[Battery drain at idle]

I have had this happen before and went through 3 batteries, all puffed and dead. I changed the board and has never happened again, might have had sloppy soldering or something and have built 3 more dna 200's without incident. The usb recover would work a few times until battery gave its last breath at 0.0v and as i remember I had to let it charge at 0.05 amps forever up till roughly 1v till usb charge recovery will work. Mabey someone knows what the lowest voltage for a cell to charge via recovery. I wish I wouldnt have been ignorant and let it kill 2 max amp and 1 fullymax before I decided to change the board.

[DNA 60]

Too bad more than 2 months for a small screen, but I will wait because my xvostick needs escribe, as I switched to SS coils. I hope the buttons line up and everything because I wouldnt want to chop on it although its beat up anyhow. Has anyone done a xvostick replacement yet?

[Temp control setting for different wires]

Thanks. I forgot about the wire wizard on steam engine.

[Temp control setting for different wires]

I make claptons with a 430ss 28 awg core and wrap with a 316l ss outer wire. Should I set the tcr in escribe to 430 or 316l? Thanks!

[wire gauge size]

thank you for the replies.

[wire gauge size]

Thanks, is it difficult to change the wire on the lipo? Also is there any negative for the 12 awg going into a 16 awg wire which is attached to the board?

[wire gauge size]

I recently bought a 2200 turnigy 25c-35c lipo and it came with 12 awg wires attached with a xt60 connector. The recommended max wire size says 16 gauge for silicone covered battery wire. Will it be safe to use this battery with xt30 connector with 12 awg wire, and will the larger wire gauge reduce the dna 200 chips output diminishing 200w power? I would probably have to trim the inside of the wire to be able to fit it in the xt30 connector. I just bought a new dna 200 chip and do not want to fry anything, thanks.

[bug after standby mode?]

Very strange. I'll let the electrical engineers respond to this, but it sounds like a battery problem, if not the fuse.

[MOD stopped working]

DW helped me with my wismec overhaul thanks again

[MOD stopped working]

Yup I replaced mine with proper silicone wire including the case ground.

[Board won't stay powered on]

You have to run series via jxt. Make sure during charge stage you set it for 2 cell lipo. I've ruined batteries with wrong charging also try setting the cutoff at 3.5v.

[Bad battery or board?]

No juice that i can see. I tried to take some photos but my phone wont focus. Ill check the insulation on the wires. I noticed when i plugged it into my lipo charger it had drained down to 2.03 from 2.11. Very strange because within 4 days cell 2 went from 2.8 to 0, which leads me to believe it is a bad battery.     I made this mod so I cannot search for potential problems.

[Bad battery or board?]

Pack voltage is 2.11v as only cell 1 has any charge. The usb recovery charger will not work if one cell is below 1v.
