I got er done! Im very pleased with the way the Lexi-DNA20D turned out and Im especially pleased with how well the DNA20D is working and with how well it's handling power.
After working with the DNA20D, the only thing I would suggest for Evolv is an accessory cradle or frame for the OLED for protection. A cradle or frame would also make it easier to mount within a case.
DNA20D Features (there's no spec sheet yet, so I'm going by what Brandon has told me on some of these and some I've observed first hand):
- High efficiency synchronous boost converter.
-Power regulation with a range of 6W - 20W and an output voltage range of ~3v - 8v.
-Max output current 6A.
-Onboard protection: over volt/under volt, shorted atty/burned out atty, thermal protection.
-Master on/off (5 presses of the fire button turns mod on and off).
-Normal Mode vs Stealth Mode: with the mod turned off, down wattage control button pressed at the same time as the fire button allows you to put the display in Normal Mode (display shows) or Stealth Mode (display does not show).
-Right Mode vs Left Mode: with the mod turned off, up wattage control button pressed at the same time as the fire button allows you to flip the display 180 - upside down (Left Mode), or have the display right side up (Right Mode).
-OLED displays batt charge level, ohms, output volts, set watts, and activation (the display brightens when the fire button is pressed, then dims after releasing the fire button, then blanks out after a short period of inactivity).
-If no atty attached or atty shorted, error message displays "CHECK ATOMIZER".
For Modders:
-You can use the onboard tactile fire switch, or use your own.
-You can use the onboard tactile up/down wattage switches, use your own up/down wattage switches, or use a 1K ohm - 10K ohm POT. I didn't test this, so don't know if the Normal/Stealth Modes or Right/Left Modes are accessible if using a POT.
-Width and height of the OLED screen is 26.5mm x 8mm, active area is 18mm x 3.5mm. There is a 21mm x 7mm thin black translucent plastic covering over the screen. This is the size I used for the cutout in my mod.
-Width and height of the board is 33mm x 16mm.
-Requires a high drain batt with a minimum of 8A discharge rating if vaping at higher watts.
-Caution: treat the OLED screen carefully as it's glass and could break. Also be gentle with the cable ends - the cable end at the screen is glued on and might pull off if not treated gently. So it might be best to dab a bit of epoxy here for security.
Through hole wiring with clear markings...
Note: if you remove the atty or change atties, the display (ohms) will update after you press the fire switch...
And... a new Lexi is born...
