Evolv & Yihi Chipsets

[anavidfan]

The deciding factor was reverse battery protection. I know not everyone is a knuckle head like me, but even the best can get distracted and with flat tops it too much of a risk for me to take that chance.

Id kick myself in the pants if I killed a 200+ device because of putting a battery in the wrong direction.

I had about 50/50 results when asking the same thing. dna vs Yihi ? I took the "safer" one for Me

PS, lack of reverse protection is the main reason I did not keep my beautiful Mark Bugs Wizard.
I know I would have killed it.

The dna40 has reverse battery protection. However, in a parallel mod it's still possible to fry the board if inserting one of the batteries the wrong way as the chip can't protect against that. How do two-battery Yihi chips handle one battery inserted the wrong way? (most of them are series wired, right?)

The SX350J chip blows the DNA 40 out of the water there's is no comparison. This is also coming from a DNA fanboy I just feel as though yihi has so much more to offer and the latest DNA 40s left a sour taste in my mouth.

I get where you're coming from, its a preference thing and the operating system doesn't do it for you.

As far as the DNA200 goes, yeah its impressive from what they're saying but given Evolv's history, an awful lot of us are going to wait for the retail version and see how Evolv handles any issues that arise.

Oh yeah, I dropped one of my rDNA40s with my one authentic Kayfun lite into the lake

So now I'm in the market for a new mod, though to be honest I think I'm going to wait just a little while before pulling the trigger. There are a bunch of YiHi based mods just about to hit the market, I just have to decide which one is going to replace my rDNA40 sitting at the bottom of the lake...

...what kills me is that I lost it in 6 feet of water, but its so thick with vegetation on the bottom that I just couldn't find it

Wow same thing happen to me fishing the river last year except I lost a $600 rod and reel combo I felt sick in the stomach after that.
