I really wish they would have allowed Mac to update the device by now. I understand it may take longer for Mac because of Apple certification and now the lack of 32 bit support with Catalina. But I believe EScribe is 64 bit (because it still works) and “should” be able to simply update the device. I love my Orion DNA but a week and a half after I bought it this update became available and I have been waiting for a chance to update it. When I emailed support all I got was “we are pushing our engineering team to release Mac version. Could you ask shop for help?” I don’t know of many shops that have a windows pc there to update devices, just an iPad register. Not to mention the FDA stopping shops from touching customers devices for liability reasons. and if they did, would I be able to change setting on my older version of escribe? luckily I can use the Orion plus mesh coils without updating.
People have reported that they have updated with SP19 successfully. All you need to do is follow the steps, but skip the one for installing SP20 and just install the official Escribe for Mac from Evolv's website.
You will get all the new 5 profiles for both 0.5 and 0.25 coils but you will be missing on the ability to add extra third and fourth pod detection (can confirm this is the case for my device as well on my SP19 install). I find that feature very nice, but if you only use the 0.5 and 0.25 ohm coils, you won't care for this
If you want to get this feature as well, you can use VirtualBox (free) or other similar VM software to quickly enable and configure those profiles. After that you can delete the apps and VM if you want to save space. You can just download Windows officially from their website, it has a trial period so it won't require a purchase in the time you'll do this.
Orion Go upgrade to Orion Plus
