gerax07 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 A friend and I got together and decided our next step from mech was to build our own boxes, and so we decided to buy the dna200 and make a great box out of it, one for each of us, and have an amazing time while doing so. I just wanted to check with y'all, since y'all seem to have a lot of experience when it comes to this particular subject. This is my part list, do y'all think everything is good? Please feel free to tell me if any parts will conflict or if we're doing something wrong.Battery:http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8932Enclosure:http://www.ebay.com/itm/Alpinetech-1590B-MBK-CNC-Milled-Aluminum-Enclosure-Box-Hidden-Magnet-BLACK-/221838484690?hash=item33a69aa4d2Fire switch:http://www.ebay.com/itm/MB16F-W-ATI-16mm-Momentary-White-LED-2-8V-4-3V-PushButton-Switch-Flat-Top-Black-/321633536740?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4ae2da4ae4Up/Down switch:http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/CK-Components/KSJ0M43180SHLFT/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMtn8lxF5bBjIcLvXe4ql53t510 Connector/Cap:http://www.fatdaddyvapes.com/shop.html(What size do y'all recommend?)Magnets:http://www.ebay.com/itm/N52-Black-Magnets-for-Hammond-Box-Mod-4-1-4-x-1-8-Disc-4-1-8-x-1-4-Cylindr-/321780355551?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aeb9a91dfResistors:680:http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-Dale/CMF07680R00GKR6/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsPqMdJzcrNwmyXKdlxrkSRaUdyGRk3zIU%3d4k7:http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-Dale/CMF604K7000FKEK/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsPqMdJzcrNwmyXKdlxrkSR2Dvt3Ie3RX8%3d10k:http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-Dale/CMF6010K000FKEK/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsPqMdJzcrNwohr4TA0SfZbzszyc8DC8m4%3d20k:http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Vishay-Dale/CMF6020K000FKEK/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMsPqMdJzcrNwohr4TA0SfZbQvpr%252bFn8STI%3dPN2222A Transistor:http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Fairchild-Semiconductor/PN2222ABU/?qs=sGAEpiMZZMshyDBzk1%2fWi8oN7VHZ91Oksd99mJbzy1A%3dMale XT60 Connector:http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__43759__Male_XT60_connectors_5pcs_bag_GENUINE_USA_warehouse_.htmlWire:http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__466__377__Hardware_Accessories-Silicon_Wire_Mesh_Guard.htmlI really appreciate it, and any input or tips y'all have will be very welcomed.

John Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 What are the transistors for? The fire button of the 200 goes straight to positive battery voltage (9-12V) and is active high, you can tap power straight off it (with an appropriate limit resistor) if you want. Or if you are feeling especially adventurous, there are pads around the onboard fire button for LEDs, but that is a difficult solder job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we want to wire in an LED fire button, and have it only light up when we fire the mod. Wouldn't wiring the LED straight to the board make it always be lit up?

Attach a 100 ohm resistor between the 2 pads on the left above the screen-printed 'F'. Resistor linkAbove the fire button, near the board edge and slightly off to the right, you will see 2 identical small solder pads. Attach your LED there, cathode side toward the middle of the board.That will give you what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't figure out where we would need to solder the resistor. And by doing so, do we not need any of the other resistors/transistor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Posted August 1, 2015 Report Share Posted August 1, 2015 We will put one together with an LED and post pics but probably won't be until next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gerax07 Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Hey y'all, I found this 100 ohm resistor from an electronics company that is close to me. It is almost identical to the resistor Brandon posted, but it has a 50V voltage rating. It's this. Y'all think it's OK for my build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 well, that's an 0603, so a little larger, but it'll work just fine if you get it soldered on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted August 11, 2015 Report Share Posted August 11, 2015 Still curious and would like to see the board with the led fire button whenever possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpvapesalot Posted August 14, 2015 Report Share Posted August 14, 2015 The remote switch lines don't run power? so if i mount a remote switch with an led in the traditional way it wont illuminate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spector NS5 RD Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 looks correct hard to tell for 100% sure from the pics. have you looked at this thread?https://forum.evolvapor.com/topic/67162-topic/?do=findComment&comment=904565 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ononewheel2 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Sorry but im new to the resistors but why are you using a 100 ohm resistor . Can someone explain that in detail . Can you use a smaller ohm or bigger ohm resistor in its place . What are you using to calculate this for the dna 200 chip to know which one to use?

What are you using to calculate this for the dna 200 chip to know which one to use? you don't need a resistor for smd leds. that set up is for adding a push button with built in LED's here's a link if you want to add LED's. https://forum.evolvapor.com/topic/67162-topic/?do=findComment&comment=904565 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ononewheel2 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I don't want to use an smd led my plan was to wire a push button led directly to the board . It has 4 pins . 2 for the led pos neg 2 for the fire . I found this diagram that some said they are gonna use and this is how i want it . Is this possible? .

Ononewheel2 Posted March 12, 2016 Report Share Posted March 12, 2016 I found this online on a resistor calculator but what is the source voltage on the dna200 chip and where are you getting the info from.
