Evolv Releases a New Service Pack for the DNA200/250

[Wingsfan0310]

As the title states, Evolv just released a new Service Pack (SP5) that among other things fixes the bug where some mods lost the Battery Bar when changing settings :cheers:

[EARLY]
*** EScribe 1.2 SP5 ***
https://downloads.evolvapor.com/SetupES_1_2_SP5_ServicePack.exe (11MB service pack)
This service pack is mostly bug fixes.

On the device side:
- dna 200 and dna 250 no longer lose the battery meter on startup sometimes.
- Calibration values have been improved slightly for newer DNA 200s and DNA 250s. (More accurate USB Voltage, mainly.)
- Temperature Protected and other messages now show the correct number of flashes again.
- Some VaporShark DNA 200s would reset charging when above 0.8A with 1.2 SP3 and 1.2 SP4. They now charge at full speed.

On the EScribe side:
- Device Monitor no longer shows Battery Cell 3 on 2-cell devices (except in debug mode).
- Get Information shows test information in an easier-to-read form.
- Production Utility's Battery Test is now more thorough. It also shows a progress bar.
- Production Utility's Fire Test completes more quickly now. It also shows a progress bar.
- This resolves some more scaling issues in Large Fonts mode and some crash bugs.
- Minor bug and compatibility fixes.

PS I'll try to keep this thread updated when further Service Packs are released.

Cheers,
Steve

Yep, James posted up 1.2 SP5 Early Release software and I see that James wants folks to let him know if they run into any issues with it. I've been running it for several days now and it seems solid.

Here's the link to the latest Service Pack (1.2 SP5.2). It seems to be on the Escribe side of things, since when I applied it, I wasn't prompted to upload new firmware to my mods. I think the main thing is it fixes the EEPROM Read errors some of us got when trying to hook up a mod to Escribe (I had that recently on one of my mods)

*** EScribe 1.2 SP5.2 ***
https://downloads.evolvapor.com/SetupES_1_2_SP5_2_ServicePack.exe (12MB service pack)
This service pack is minor bug fixes.

On the EScribe side:
- EScribe no longer has EEPROM Read Errors with some 1.2 SP5 devices. It can now upload to and download from them correctly. (With these devices, manually updating the firmware can still be useful to speed up uploading and downloading.)
- Help->Report Bug and Help->Send Feedback go to the Help Desk.
- TLS 1.2 is now used for secure connections if available.
- The progress bar displays correctly when the desktop theme is Windows Classic.

It also improves Production Utility:
- Production Utility now checks that the thermistor is working correctly. (You will need to be in a room warmer than 0F to use Production Utility.)
- Production Utility now shows a code identifying the firmware being loaded on, to prevent accidental loading of other firmware. Current firmware hashes are:
-- DNA 60 - 1.2 SP3 - DAC2
-- DNA 60 Small Screen - 1.2 SP3 - A103
-- DNA 75 - 2016-06-05 - 95D6
-- DNA 200 - 1.2 SP5 - 7E55
-- DNA 250 - 1.2 SP5 - F5C7
- The error dialog doesn't go behind the Production Utility window any more.

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks Steve. doesn't sound like a must have at this point, but good to know it's there. All my DNA mods are behaving so well I don't want to say "boo!" around them.

Watch, I just cursed myself...............

Is there any plans to decrease the hard cut off voltage or make it adjustable on the DNA250? 2.9 volts is too high and it is safe to go lower. I ran the battery analyzer on my 30Q's so my battery meter is accurate but I start getting the check battery warning at 20% because of the voltage sag. The resting voltage is still at 3.4 volts though so there is lots of life left in the battery. It's very frustrating.

The resting voltage on my Aspire Archon is 3 volts when it starts cutting out for low battery so the voltage under load must be 2.5-2.6 volts and I have never had a problem.

Mooch explains it very well in this video:

Mooch already addressed it in your other thread. DNA 250 hard cut off voltage

This is more of a question to @Wingsfan0310 I assumed he has some sort of affiliation with Evolv

I don't have an affiliation with Evolv. I just like their mods/boards is all. I do know the Therion 166 comes preset with a 2.80v cutoff so I'm assuming it's at least that low. The DNA75 (Lavabox) comes set at 2.75v. I'm not sure how low it can actually be set.

I've set the soft cut off at 2.5 volts but the hard cut off still cuts for low battery at 2.9 volts which can't be changed.

My mod is a 3 x 18650. It came with the soft cut off pre set to 3.09 volts.
