blueridgedog Posted October 21, 2015 Report Posted October 21, 2015 I trust James....AND will add that even adding my device serial to the virtual machine I still had issues (so it could see the failsafe device ID). I ended up flashing new firmware via a windows system. If it happens again I will test the virtual machine recovery more. Your success means that we may not need a windows box at all.
James Posted October 21, 2015 Report Posted October 21, 2015 Mm. As far as VMs go... Parallels was a bit quirky when I tried it on a Mac Mini -- I'd tell it to allow the failsafe device, but it still wouldn't detect in the VM until I physically reattached it a second time. In that case, I think Parallels first tells the host OS 'send this to me', but the host OS decides where it goes on attachment. It makes sense from a programming perspective, but from a usability perspective, confusing as hell.I could probably do to increase the timeouts more, or perhaps 'X is taking a long time. Keep waiting?' instead of a flat-out failure.
SteveAdams86 Posted October 21, 2015 Report Posted October 21, 2015 I have no experience with parellels at all im using virtualbox on ubuntu and used it on my friends mac i set up escribe on. virtualbox will run on windows, osx and linux so it might be an idea you thinking of using it as i would say its possible more people could be using it than only people using parellels from only 1 operating system. I didnt have to reconnect to see my device after it had failed which was handy but i did disconnect and reconnect to just double check the serial number appeared again so i knew which device was being detected. Your solution is a great idea, adding a pop up saying the operation is taking a long time and asking to continue would be probably better than just failing all together would be a and hopefully save others going through the same
VapingBad Posted October 21, 2015 Report Posted October 21, 2015 Your prompt idea is better than the setting idea James . One of these edge cases that come up once you work is in the wild.
footbag Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 I changed the wattage press and hold scrolling speed, but it's not behaving how I expect. I increased both to 1w, but when I push the wattage up button, it goes in .1w increments, the same when I hold it. Am I doing something wrong?It may have slowed down the scroll speed, but I could use it slower.EDIT: OK. Seems like the scroll sped changed, but not the push speed.
Givesuhe11 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Hello, New here.I built a box with a pass-thru to one of my 12v wheelchair batteries (Dual Group 24 batteries)... Works great, no complaints, virtual limitless battery juice for days... I was wondering if I can suggest that there could be a setting in the screen drop-down when it's in "Power Supply" mode that shows the voltage coming in from the pass-thru to the board... Kind of like the "Battery Pack" setting that shows the total of volts from the LiPo... Would be cool and also helpful when showing people what I've done. TIA... GUH
Bobby Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Interesting idea but I can see the headlines in the Sun already: "Man gets stuck in a Park for 2 days because an E-cigaret drained his electric wheelchair". Lol
James Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 footbag, it should change the press increments as well. Did you update the firmware to 2015-09-30? That version adds support for changing the increment.

James Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 Givesuhe11, if you use three 10K resistors to split the wheelchair's 12V into three 4V outputs, you can hook that into the balancer connection and read the voltage. This will drain 0.4 mA continually, so 9.6 mAh per day, but it will work.
James Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 The 2015-10-21 EScribe includes the 2015-09-30 firmware. I mean in Device Monitor, the Version: in the lower right corner.

Firmware updated and the device is changing in 1w increments. Awesome! Thanks for the help and a great device!
VapingBad Posted October 22, 2015 Report Posted October 22, 2015 I am amazed there have been no requests for temperature increment I often have to use Escribe, both my 200 are set to 382 F ATM.
mknight Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 @james I just wanted to say that ya'll helping giveshu11 made me an evolve customer for life. Very cool of ya'll!

There have been. Along with requests to make the unlocked state adjust temp rather than wattage (table driven state machine for the ui so we can set all "that stuff"). It will get there
mknight Posted October 23, 2015 Report Posted October 23, 2015 What is the look and feel in the themes tab? *** 2015-10-21 EScribe 1.0.35.2 ***Never mind, I'm dumb... thank yall
john_99205 Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 1.0.35.2 is working well: go with it! It would be nice to be able to increase the Celsius degrees by one degree increments on the mod.
joelamb Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 liking the new trial update, working well and have not found anything wrong or needs changed yet
lewisss Posted October 25, 2015 Report Posted October 25, 2015 *** 2015-10-21 EScribe 1.0.35.2 ***Should this be known as the pbusardo update?
Droopydroors Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 I'm thinking he is stating that all the things psardo asked for are in this update.
lexalove Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 scoopy said:No 9-30 was the one pBusardo was usingI think lewiss means that many of the revisions in this latest firmware release where improvements suggested by Phil during his DNA 200 review.I still think the most important one is missing... being able to directly adjust the temperature when in TC mode (without having to do the ''lock/hold/unlock shuffle'' each time). Phil was screaming it at the end of his 'thumbs down'' section of the review which was quite funny.EDIT: Droopydroors got there before me
lewisss Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 YEs that is what I meant, and the temp adjust is the last thing I am waiting for!
jcsfearless Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 I just downloaded and installed Escribe 1.0.35.2 but the firmware that came with it was 09-30 and not 10-21. Wtf did I do wrong?
Bobby Posted October 26, 2015 Report Posted October 26, 2015 You did not do anything wrong: 2015-10-21 is the latest EScribe version (v1.0.35.2). 2015-09-30 is the latest firmware version. (these are pre-releases. In the first post you can find what is officially released)
