    So I've been switching between the 3 profiles (gauges, the test version and clean colors) and there doesn't appear to be a noticeable difference between gauges and test gauges. It still throttles for me often, but cool colors is still not having the throttle issue. So it doesn't appear to be an off board memory issue so I suppose that's good!

     

    I have some ideas I'll play around with today to see if I can nail down what is causing it and report back. 

    Thanks for trying that. A little disappointed that wasn't the problem, cause it would've been the easiest to fix lol.

    Try replacing the profile/status field on the main screen with just a static status field. That's the only other thing I can think of that might cause this. 

    I attached a version with a static status field to this post. Keep in mind you have to go to the atomizer profile screen if you want to change your profile.

    If I recall correctly......

    Look in Theme Designer under the Language Tab you will see that "Throttling" is the Temperature Protect Message.... just means you have reached your set temperature and overshot it so the device is regulating you back to the set temperature.  In most all other themes the word " Temp Protect" is used.  In Device Monitor you can see when your device reaches set temperature and you can see the overshoot and the device regulating back to set temperature...

    Throttling is a term also used when the atty starts to  becomes dry or not wicking quickly enough the device throttles back on power to prevent wick burning..... when it does this no error message is given..... so the message you are getting is just as stated above...

    Sorry I didn't know the chip was able to show two different messages for those two conditions. I thought like most chips it would all fall under "throttling" or "temp protect". I'll change it back to Temp Protect in the next update.

    @Pete1burn I was going to suggest removing the custom status from the language tab to see if it helps. If anything you would see the default message that the chip sends. But if it's cutting out your power when it shouldn't it's out of my league. I assume the max puff time is well over the puffs you were taking?   

    When the theme had a flicker (and a half second lag) prior to v2.0 this problem made more sense. I cut down on the number of fields that updates while firing as well. 

  3. Hello! 

    As I understand the 75c has reverse battery protection when using a single cell. The 250c also has reverse battery protection even when using a multi-cell setup because it's series. 

    It seems like if I wire a 75c in a parallel setup with 2 cells, and insert one of the batteries the wrong way, it's going to hard short and make the circuit series. 

    Is a P channel FET the best way of building reverse battery protection? This thread was quite useful.

    These two mosfets look like just the thing I'd need. The specs look about right. I'd really appreciate if someone can chime in.

    I have not uploaded a theme yet and wanted to know when you upload a theme does it display the screen images like they are on the right side of Theme Designer?

    Yes

    Can you upload images from the computer to supplement those images or do you need to use an image hosting site?  Or can you not upload separate images at all?

    Yes. You can upload photos/screenshots that can be added in the description section.

    Now you can additionally upload images if you like, though it's difficult to take screenshots since if you take a screenshot of what is in the Theme Designer, you get all the ugly outlines and editing junk. My workaround has been to take a screenshot of the screens as they are listed on the right side of the Theme Designer, but those are the same that are auto-generated.

    You can right click on the editing area of a theme and click "Take Screenshot". Arrange your screen the way you want by picking specific conditions and take the screenshot. It'll look just like those auto generated ones.

  5. I have many fields/images/gauges on the theme that are either visible or hidden depending on whether the current profile is TC, VW or Replay. 

    The screenshots that are generated when I upload a file seems like were generated using a TC profile active. Similarly the screenshots on the right on Theme Designer always uses a TC profile even if the default states of my elements are set up for a Replay profile.

    Can I dictate what fields will be visible in the screenshots? 

    I like the replay layout more than any other profile layout on one of my themes. I'm trying to have the replay layout visible in the screenshots instead of TC layout.

    Thanks!

    Hi Mr Timbit 

    I think I made my self clear, Not blaming your Theme at all! Just pointing out what Had happened to me :)

    I appreciate the work you put in to the Theme's you post & Give you a Big Thanks for your Work :)

    Hey of course it's nothing personal :)

    If there's something I'm doing wrong I want to fix it.

    If it's a bug in the Theme Editor / Firmware I want to help find it so Evolv can fix it.

    If it's something with your specific chip I'd love to help figure it out. 

    :)

    So, I'v seen this happen on one of my 250c's with a Plus on top also. I'm running 2 exact same setups 250c 1500mAH lipo, Evolv 510's, with  Supreme Plus's, on single SS430 Claptons.

     Only one of the 2 would give the "Throttling" every once & a while, not very frequent.   It was very random & would only happen for a small amount of time, then go back to normal.

    I to have used the Supreme Plus's in TC for ever now & have never had connectivity issues ever!

    I was only getting this with a certain "Theme" "Gauges" on only one of 2 exact setups. I have since changed themes & have yet to see the "Throttling" message since?

    The frequency of it was so little, that  I didn't bother posting. Heck I had forgot all about it till I seen this thread.  

    Are you using the "Gauges" Theme?

    I'm not saying/thinking the Theme was the cause? Just posting my experience :)

     

    Hey I made Gauges. 

    Honestly there is no reason why a theme should affect why and how often a status message gets displayed. Those messages get triggered by the system and the theme just changes how and where it's shown on the screen. 

    Only reason I can think of why you saw it on Gauges and not on any other theme is the stutter that used to be in the theme. There used to be a lot of "update while firing" fields on the theme, and that would cause a brief stutter and visible screen refresh whenever you started/stopped firing.  

    That's gone now (1.5.0+). I'd love it if you gave it another chance and report back to see if that still persists. 

    If you're already using 1.5.0 and you still see that please let me now as well.
