    [QUOTE=monster92]Well with all these Hana v200 issues I'm worried mine will be the same... Mine will be in tomorrow. I'll take it apart and have a look and I'll get back tomorrow. John do you have any information about this?



    The only real issue is the ribbon cable being pinched by the fire button. Everything else is just us nitpicking at what we would've done better. The mod is the perfect size for me and the 950mah lipo lasts a day for me so I'm happy with it. 

    [/QUOTE] I just think for 200 bucks it could've been better. Idk why they wouldn't use stranded silicone wire anyways. Seems like a no brainier. And I mean if they wanted to throw stuff together why not just go into the mod enclosure business. Then I could've done all this myself. I essentially assembled it all over again

    [/QUOTE] Yes but I mean for 200 bucks I'd make someone a mod better. And not using silicone stranded wire I feel is just a weird decision. Why would anyone wanna use wire that stuff for something always moving.

    As far as the resistance readings on the v200. I tried to solder the 510 better. Idk if the solder made connection to the wire farther in the 510. But when I looked inside for the first time the wire looks like it wasn't bonded to the solder. And the connection to the board same thing. On the 510 it almost just looked like the wire was just sticking out of the solder. But not fused with it. I tried beefing it up more and reheated the solder connection to the board but they look like pretty poor solder joints.

    Yessss. Fixed my screen with one from another board that just arrived. Also added bullet connectors I took out of an xt30. Was a tight fit but in the end it wasn't much different space wise as the jst. Hopefully now there's no issues. Also lined the side of the lipo against the board and 510 with some thick rubber electrical tape.

    If Hana's design is as close to our reference as it looks, I'd say the bullet connectors are about all that will fit and that will be tight.

    Yea I can't see a way to get an xt30 in. Maybe if u cut the balance leads way down but then u might be forcing the battery too close to the 510

    I spoke to a Hana rep today. They said the screen issue is fixed with the ribbon cable getting pinched between the fire button. With that being said I ordered one!

    Did they say as of what date?

    John I have sent you a pm as well my Hana has not failed yet but I did take a peek inside and it is kind of worry some. The 510 wire appears to be rubbing and the fire button is noticeable different sounding than the rest. Not to mention the battery power connector. I would still temporarily trade if u would like to get your hands on it. Overall it's a worry

    So we get the build issues taken care of in the Opus and Hana then that should get us closer to the end game, right?

    Isn't that ridiculous service. Evolv fixing problems they don't even have too. Although it works out for them cause they can rule out board defects vs manufacturer defects

    We're doing our best! The infant mortality on these is higher than I would like, but it seems to be device to device specific (the opuses that have problems tend to be blown fuses, the hanas have been mostly screens so far), so hopefully a lot of the early issues are implementation details and get tidied up soon. As we find repeatable production or firmware related issues we continue to tweak the manufacturing and testing here at Evolv, and I know the manufacturers are doing the same. You could run it off a car or motorcycle battery. ivcan elaborate on how to set that up if you are serious. Straight from a cigarette lighter the voltage could get up a little high (14.5V) and your typical cigarette lighter outlet is fused to 10 amps, so you would have to limit the power and preheat to 120 watts or so.

    It's even harder to tell if it's on your part especially when the boards are in the hands of so many modders. Not to mention the postal service. So far both of mine are doing well. I'm crossing my fingers and glad I got two so we'll see. My third board which was the first I got idk what happened the first time I fired the mod shut down and would not do anything usb or not. Fuse had continuity but I kinda just let it go. Never thought I'd be able to send it back and get a new one. Also I had already covered my soldered connections with light epoxy just to prevent shorts. Oh and I might add the mod connected to escribe but only read battery voltage and cell voltage. It would actually fire too on the monitor but would fire like 1 watt in a pulse fashion. Device was unresponsive tho. Didn't match any failure I've seen. I believe something must of shorted somehow but never could tell. Fuse didn't pop so I did not think so and verified with a good meter. So I just ordered another the day it happened should of came here baha

    is it just me or does anyone else get that feeling when they use their dna200 haha. Finally a board that comes out in beta to let people work the bugs out before being released. And customer support too. I'm tired of buying rushed out weekly produced mods from overseas only for the fixed one to come out a week later for purchase again. I finally feel like I'm not just throwing my money away. I mean yea opus and Hana from what I've seen rushed some things to get into the market but nothing that excellent customer service doesn't take care of.

  22. Hana v200 battery connector safe???

    I just started using my v200 I received today and it's working fine and I've updated it. Works the same as my other dna200 that I built myself. My concern is the pictures I've seen of the inside regarding the battery power connectors being the small jst xh I believe which are supposedly only rated at 2 amps or so. How can this be safe. I can wore in some bullet connectors myself or just solder the wires direct but don't want to void warranty. Anyone from evolv have more info on this or maybe it has been discussed already?

    Just go to steam engine select titanium wire then select the resistance approximation which doesn't really matter with one one wire type and download the csv. Then upload it to one of your profiles and give it a go. Should work pretty well like that
