This is possible in my test version. I am however a bit curious: if you are doing this when you switch atomizers, why not use a profile for each atomizer? James, you say "this is possible in my test version" Does this mean that you have a firmware/software version that you are testing that allows temp as the primary adjustment value? ( and smaller increments I hope!!!)[/QUOTE] In a previous post on this thread it was stated that Evolv are working on a firmware upgrade that has some significant UI changes one of which allows temperature adjustment from the main screen without the need for the play station "special move" button press sequence! The delay in release is due to them moving premisses at the moment. I think the move is complete now so I'm sure they will release it soon when they are confident they have tested it thoroughly.

+1 on the atty holder... getting a Lego kit tomorrow!!!

Toss-up between Nickel and Stainless... I would be glad I got the Stainless! Pleased you solved the mystery because someone gave me a reel of that same wire a few months back and I think I dumped it I got so frustrated trying to get it to work with the TFR from steam-engine. Now I find out it was stainless it all makes sense.

Excluding a damaged board I think it's almost impossible to "brick" a DNA 200D.... Many have purposely tried and failed to do it. I would suggest installing eScribe on a native Windows computer and see if it will actually detect that you've connected a USB device. From there you should be able to flash the new firmware.

Unfortunately the board is toast! Obviously I don't have the schematics for the board but I would guess the crappy adapter has taken out some of the analog balance charging/monitoring circuit. So I'll be ordering a replacement board when I get back. On the upside, I potentially have another spare screen!

I work away a lot on business and I have one of those multi-plug adapters for plugging UK devices into foreign sockets, it also has a USB output socket for charging devices such as phones etc. So I was working over in Germany for a couple of weeks and day 2 I got back to the hotel after a stressfull day and my mod was running low. I could have just swapped out the batteries (it's a 2s 18650 mod) but since I was going straight to bed and tired I thought I'll just plug it into the USB charger from the aforementioned multi-plug adapter. Next morning I woke up, picked up the mod and unplugged the USB cable for a morning vape. Clicked the button expecting to see a nice full battery bar... instead what I got was the screen light up for a second with what appeared to be lines running across it, then nothing. So I clicked again, same thing. F*CK I said. So I grabbed two charged batteries I had in my bag, put them in... still nothing but a short "jinky" looking flash of the welcome screen for a second or so. Plugged into eScribe and checked the pack volts in Device Monitor and it showed... Pack = 5.26V Cell 1 = 0.00V Cell 2 = 5.26V Cell 3 = 1.23V S*IT!!! Anyway I stripped the mod next day (after I stopped crying) and all the wiring is intact so looks like the, most likely poorly filtered and regulated, USB output from the cheap multi-plug adapter has damaged the board somehow GUTTED! Just thought I would warn you guys so it doesn't happen to you.

Great post Mamu. I used the same protection circuit when I used to build Raptor mods... never thought of using it in a 2s DNA mod

Many Thanks

I would say you are not doing anything wrong, the problem is the csv file you are trying to load. I don't know who or what SSV are but the TFR relates only to the material and not the size of the coil. Try downloading the csv for Ti from http://www.steam-engine.org/wirewiz.asp and see if that solves your issue.

If you commit to buying 500,000 DNA 200 boards they may sort you out

Props to you Robert for coming on here, fronting up and trying to help the fella out. In general is it better to return defective products to the vendor or manufacturer? Just thinking about folk like myself who don't live in the US or live in a different country to the manufacturer.

Sounds like a bad battery cell or balance wiring issue. Either way it sounds like unfortunately you got a ''bad-un''. Send it back to the vendor for an exchange unit.

Maybe ask Evolv to ship DNA's with 3 profiles already configured.. Kanthal (Power), Ni200 and Ti. Then at least the user who doesn't want the complexity of having to use escribe will be able to use TC straight out the box with the material of their choice. I think it's not feasible to do Stainless profiles due to the variations in material being sold.

Personally I like the fact that power and temp can be set per profile so you can configure profiles for a specific atomizer. You can use the profiles in the manner you suggest quite easily without any firmware changes. Removing these settings would make the system less flexible, why would you want to do that? I do agree, and it's my biggest issue with the DNA, in TC mode you should be able to directly adjust your temp with power adjust behind the lock and visa-versa when in Power mode.

Regarding the tactile switch it does matter which of the 'prongs' you connect to. In my little sketch of the push button switch you can see that there are two prongs on each side of the switch contacts so you'll need a continuity tester to make sure you don't connect to two prongs in the same pair else your mod will act like the switch is pressed all the time. It makes no difference which is used as the +ve side or -ve side. Hope that helps.
