I just started having a similar issue with my battery draining. I took it apart last night and made a connecter to go inline with the battery to measure current. I measured 0.1 Amps at idle. This picture was taken after 30 minutes of sitting idle on my table, still drawing 0.1 Amps. Is this normal? It seems awfully high for the microcontroller to draw that much current. Shouldn't it be in the 10's of milliamps? Does Evolve use the sleep timers available in their microcontroller?
I'm going to look into it further this evening. Anyone have any ideas?

I used 0-80 machine screws for mine. Worked great. They're available in lengths up to 1 inch from mcmaster-carr (that's gotta be long enough I hope). I prefer to use english/imperial/standard dimensions for everything though, since that's what the majority of my tooling is.bnitch said:Why not make the holes a more standard size, such as M2. Screws and standoff's in 1.6 or 1.7mm are so hard to come by. Even #0 screws are limited in length availability. If you don't want to use a face plate you are in for a tough time.

I got a chance to mill out the window for the display using a 3/32" end mill. The screen is registered in place much like the Evolv reference case was. I also decided to wrap the carbon fiber sleeve with leather. It feels nice in the hand, I like the look, and it smells like leather to boot! I'll cut out another carbon sleeve when I get a chance, so i'll be able to change the look if I want. Also the polished aluminum looks great but scratches way to easy. Still going to get it anodized, maybe silver. Thoughts?
Should have it working sometime this week. -
All I can say is wow! What a great job! This is my dream mod to make here. I wish I had the tools to make such quality mods. Unfortunately unless I pay ridiculous amounts of money to get them made for me, which isn't a option for single units as the price wouldn't make sense. Wish I had a friend in phoenix, AZ that had a cnc machine...
Hey thanks, I appreciate it. I'll definitely post pictures when I'm finished. I wish I had a CNC machine too! This was all done on a well worn manual Bridgeport mill. Started as a 2"x 4" block and took me 6 hours to mill. -
Here's my "not quite done, but can't help and post" dna200. I still need to mill out the window for the display and turn some buttons on the lathe. Made of aluminum and real carbon fiber. Once done I'm getting the aluminum hard coat anodized.
