Dan can I just ask a quick question, with 2 21700s my board is saying"check battery" and won't fire,do I need to change battery settings in escribe from 3s to 2s so that it will function?
Yes, you need to go into escribe and configure the board for 2s, you also need to have the balance charging pins wired for 2s, I'm assuming you are using a DNA250 board since you commented on this vid but check the datasheet for the 250c, it shows how to wire for 2s, 3s, 4s starting on page 14, downloads.evolvapor.com/dna250color.pdf There is an extra charging pin on the 250c but it's the same idea, the regular 250 datasheet does not have the wiring diagrams.
@@AnalogboxmodsCanada thanks for the reply and help man,no I'm using a 200 and have wired the balanced charging like you have in this video.well,I think it's this video that u show doing the balanced changing wiring lol
hai i have triade dna 200, can i rebuild on the 1590b n use 2 bat 18650, n modif the chip like this video to 133? sorry my bad english, hope u understand what i mean? please answer
Would it work if you just ran solder between pin 2, 3, and B+. Then ran solder from ground to B-. And last, a wire from pin 1 to the battery sled jumper. I'm asking because this is how I wired it and my fuse blew..
Should not matter if you use wire or just solder as long as the connections are the same. Not sure why the fuse blew but I doubt it is because you used only solder vs wire to make those connections.
I'm currently building a dna 133. Im sticking with the JST connector. This is my first build ever. From doing my research don't you connect the JST to the battery sled? Ground on the negative and pin 1 positive batt 1. pins 2 and 3 positive battery 2? Also i think i read some where that evolv doesn't want you to bridge directly on the board itself? Currently, i'm waiting on new battery sleds cause the 3D printed ones i bought from ebay are garbage and when i mocked it up one of the batteries didn't make contact with the positive side of the sled. I'm a noob when it comes to this, but all i have to do is wire up the sled, fire button and switch the board to 2 batt config. on escribe. Can't wait til tomorrow when i get the sleds in the mail. Awesome vid. There aren't many youtube vids on DNA 133 builds.
I got my info from this thread on the evolv forums, evolvapor.forumchitchat.com/post/2s-18650-discussion-7521656?&trail=15 . There are several different wiring diagrams, comment #66 is referred to several times as being "correct". I went with the diagram you see in comment #124 by jumpering pins 3+2 to bat+ and GND to bat-, it's the same thing as #66 just fewer wires. I've not heard/read that evolv doesn't want people doing this, there are nice clear pics of it on comment #154 to which a moderator responded "looks good". I hope your new sled works out, good luck! :)
If you buy a Kit from us it will come with a means of mounting the board, you can choose between the screws and standoffs you see in this vid or a 3D printed mounting bracket which you can see in most of my newer DNA build videos. If you buy just the the board it does not include the board mount hardware but you can buy that separately too.
The only thing that will be different is the wiring for the batteries... Here is a wiring diagram I found which looks good to me, s3.amazonaws.com/files.websitetoolbox.com/186396/2579415
No... The balance charging pins (through holes) are labelled, 1, 2, 3, GND. With the normal 3s lipo (the "3" in "3s" means 3 cells and the "s" means in series) you have the positive from each battery/cell going to each of the 1, 2, 3 pins, this is how it can measure/monitor each cell individually and "balance" the charging to each cell individually. In our case we only have 2 batteries but the board expects 3, we still want a positive from each battery going to 2 of the 1, 2, 3 balanced charging pins so it can monitor and balance each battery individually and we need to trick the board into thinking there are 3 batteries so we send the positive from one of our batteries to 2 of the balanced charging pins by jumpering 2 of them together. We jumpered pins 2 and 3 so the board sees a bat on each pin but it is really seeing the same bat on pin 2 and 3.
There are some good cheap entry level devices if you just want to make the switch from cigs to e-cigs. A lot of people rant and rave about the ego AIO as a good starter device, I think they retail for ~$30 CAD/$20 USD. I'd say start off with something like that until you know you like it, then with all the money you'll be saving you can upgrade to a better device or build your own :).
Depends which kit and what options you choose, check out the web site, analogboxmods.ca . Prices are listed in CAD but you can switch to USD using the "currency" drop down menu on the top right if you prefer.
