The problem with VMs is if you're doing a firmware update and something interrupts the USB port, you can brick your chip. This would prevent that from being an issue.

Yup. Bootcamp is a solution, but not necessarily the best one. I'd love to not have 30 gigs of HD space taken up just to run one program, when if there were drivers, it'd be more like 70MB.

So, last week I used Wineskin on the Mac to wrap Escribe up into a working Mac app and it seems to work as far as the functionality of the software. However, there is no communication with the chip in Mac OS X.

I believe if we just had drivers for the board, we could use this as a viable solution without having to run the software in a VM or install Windows (Bootcamp) on our machines.
Any chance of this happening?
Graphene LiPo batteries are on the market. Anyone know anything about them?

Looking at using a 4S Graphene LiPo to build a smallish DNA 250 Color based mod.
I'm assuming the charge time would be minutes as opposed to hours, so using a lower mAh graphene lipo wouldn't be as much of a giant PITA that using those 900 mAh LiPo's that many manufacturers were using with the DNA 200 was. I figure something like this one would be great for a short, fat little mod. https://www.amazon.com/Turnigy-Graphene-1300mAh-Square-Lipo/dp/B077HLLX8C/ref=sr_1_46?ie=UTF8&qid=1522390475&sr=8-46&keywords=4s+graphene+battery
Or if I can find something thinner and not too long, that may work too. Basically, I don't want a monster mod, but I don't want it to be a "2 hours and done" mod because the battery doesn't last very long and then takes four hours to charge.
The only thing I'm not sure about is whether it'll charge faster than a regular LiPo at 2A, or if you'd need a higher amp charger (some graphene battery packs can charge at 15C) to speed it up significantly over a regular LiPo. If it does charge faster at 2A, then recharging the mod would be only about as inconvenient as carrying extra 18650's and swapping them out.
Anyone know about or have experience with these new graphene packs?
