DNA60c wont connect to escribe ! Please Help

[GrumpiTurnip]

Hi all

I making my own mod have soldered everything where I believe it should be using a 2amp charging board for the dna60c, plugged it into escribe it detected the board then said no device connected. Have tried several USB cables but no difference, it connected one time started to up load the settings and stopped at 6% and wont go no further and escribe just has the spinning wheel I can't even Close escribe.

I'm using windows 10, Any help would be appreciated as I am gutted was the last thing to do to complete the build.

Have attached a pic below just incase someone can see something I've missed

Cheers Si

Restart your PC and escribe. Use the cable that worked.

No image shown. Don't drag and drop, just choose and upload image (do not insert image). Is it the evolv USB-C board?

It looks to be wired correctly to an Evolv C board.

Avoid using a USB hub.

Thankyou for your replies @Wayneo @dwcraig1 now ive calmed down and went searching the forum i read a post about escribe cant connect without a battery connected, the only thing i didnt try and low and behold she lives. Least i know my connections are good after resoldering everyone 😄

Edit : So I've now mounted the board and type c board in place, I am running 2x18350 Batteries in parallel, plugged it into escribe and it will not recognise the board saying please connect a device 🤔 

All I have left to connect is the 510 - and + with the batteries inserted i put a meter on the positive and negative and without pressing the fire button it's showing 3.2v when I press the fire button there is no change in the voltage.

I have spent hours building the mod and searching the forum for an answer but to no avail, would anybody have any ideas or suggestions please I'm about to call it a day as it's eating into my long weekend off work. Have attached some pics......

Cheers Simon

Well as a starting point what version of Escribe are you using? You should be using the latest version.

I'm using escribe 2 sp57 international on windows, Downloaded from the evolv website.

Just been out and purchased a data cable but still no joy, the red led comes on the charging board but wont recognize the board.

I'm thinking you said you connected with EScribe prior installing board in the enclosure. Yes/no.

[dwcraig1]

A lot of computers with USB 3 ports still have a USB 2.0 port as well. Did you try plugging into a different  USB port?

I should delete this as it's a USB-C board but will leave it. Please disregard above.

80c connected straight away so then plugged the 60c back in but Nope wont recognise it

IMHO you've gotta meter out all your connections.
For the USB-C you know it has worked outside the box. I'd lift that off and see if it connects, then lift at the board end if it still didn't connect. What else could it be?

Same thing for the battery. Using 1 battery, measure it externally then in each slot at all the connection points to the board. Then do the other battery slot.

Same thing for the fire button and up/down.

[dwcraig1]

The situation where you have 3.2 volts between output and ground is troubling.

This is something that I have no experience with so I measured the voltage between output and ground on two of my DNA60s and my one DNA60C, all three read about the same, just over 0.7 volts.

And no change if fire button pressed.

yes something is wrong somewhere, ive just soldered the 510 when checking with a meter earth and 510 pin no fire button pressed im getting voltage of 3.2v then press the fire button and no change, 

Ok it looks like im gonna have to pull it all out and see whats happening, Hopefully i notice something this has totally baffelled me.

Thankyou both @dwcraig1 @Wayneo for your time and patience i will start testing connection when i get a bit more time and hopefully have a good outcome
