  1. It's fairly easy to convert the files to .STL, however in my experience .STL files aren't very useful except to send to 3D printing. The Evolv Reference Mod was designed to machined and IMHO a straight .STL conversion isn't suitable for 3D printing. When I have some spare time I can convert to .STL files if people really want them. Am I wrong in my assumptions? Is there 3D design software that uses .STL files that you can actually edit the parts?
  2. I would just switch to power supply in escribe.
  3. SSV the CSV is just 2 columns, one for temperature and one for resistance. Or you can input the temperature coefficient of resistance.
  4. You would be correct, but I didn't know how technical they wanted to get publicly. However someone will be by to answer your more technical questions with the same answers as you would or wouldn't get contacting them directly.
  5. I misspoke earlier when I directed someone in a post to contact Evolv directly. This is where they want to answer any and all questions.
  6. I will let someone from Evolv answer if firmware modifications can be done, however I doubt it. EScribe gives users a ton of options to customize just about every aspect without messing with core functionality.
  7. pdizzle you would have to check with the friend from the machine shop. These are just 3D files of the parts, a machine shop will need to take the 3D part files into there software to program the cutting/machining of the actual part. They very well might be able to use the native Solidworks files, but the IGES files are a generic file type that pretty much any machine shop should be able to use.
  8. SSV the documentation is going to be geared for general users, not developers and etc. I see you have asked a number of higher level questions throughout the forums. My suggestion is to wait until they release the software and you have chance to check things out.
  9. I will try to keep all files, links, and etc. for the DNA 200 and EScribe in this thread. FAQ:

  12. I will try to keep all files, links, and etc. for the DNA 200 and EScribe in this thread. FAQ: Q: Is Mac software available? A: Not in the near term. We have a number of beta testers using parallels, which works reasonably well. All our new products from here on out will have this sort of functionality, so maybe a native Mac version in q4 or 2016, but it isn't on our firm development schedule yet. Q: From a developers standpoint, what is the interfacing to this? Is it JS in eclipse? or higher level? I am interested in building discreet/custom wire profiles for our various wire products. Is it going to be possible to build non-linear PTC scalars? I.E. develop a TC scalar for each discreet product. We have the necessary gear in our lab to test calibrations at various energy/heat levels. I would like to give my customers a downloadable file for each of our wire compositions and sizes. A: You can build custom curves. No programming is necessary, they go in as csv files. Q: Where is the Mod tab in EScribe Version 1.2? A: EScribe now has 4 display modes accessible through the menu under Options - Interface. The differences in each mode compared to the previous versions are: Clean: no Mod or Research tabs and no Atomizer Analyzer. Advanced: no Research tab and only Charging Mode and Kanthal Power Limit on mod tab Researcher: only Charging Mode and Kanthal Power Limit on mod tab Manufacturer: same as the previous version with the Manufacturer settings on the mod tab expanded
  13. I will try to keep all files, links, and etc. for the DNA 200 and EScribe in this thread. FAQ: Q: What's the Absolute Maximum Input Voltage? (regarding using a power supply) A: Absolute max is 16v. (In reference to the above question....regarding using a power supply) Q: Will this work with the balance charger port not connected? Seems like the firmware would think there is a cell problem. A: The easiest way around that is set up a three resistor divider to generate "cell" voltages for the balancer to see. You can also disable battery monitoring entirely, which is for fixed installations only, but is useful if you're building the board into a research smoking machine, or something like that. Q: What is the battery requirment? A: Battery needs to be a 3S LiPo/LiFePo4/IMR lithium type battery capable of handling a constant load of the max 23 amps. Having some overhead is always a good thing. Q: Considering there is an onboard fuse on the DNA200, is it still recommended to fuse the LIPO? A: The fuse is directly inline with the battery, and is a tertiary protection as is. It should only come into play in the event of catastrophic board failure or unprotected reversed battery. That said, if you have space I will never argue against an extra fuse.
  14. I believe the answer is yes to NT platform. However I personally haven't tested it. I just run it in compatibility mode for XP and it worked fine, but I don't know if that really tells us much.
  15. These are 3d models of the DNA 200 board in both Step and Iges formats. dna200board.zip
  16. Battery needs to be a 3S lipo/lifepo4/imr lithium style battery capable of handling a constant load of the max 23 amps. Having some overhead is always a good thing.
  17. The data sheet list recommended wire gauges. What am I missing in the question?
  18. The reference mod case was designed to be machined. There may be some changes required to make a good 3D print. Sure you could simply convert the files to a .stl and try to have it printed.
