And here's a pic of the nickel finish. Looks better than the pics on HoV's site.

I can't contact HoV. Does HoV ship in Europe? Do you have hov's email?
No they don't. This is the list of countries they ship to:
Australia
Canada
Puerto Rico
United States

You need to call them to get support as they stated on their help page "Emails will not responded to".

Hi guys just joined the forum to take part in this thread, iv read a few pages, honeslty I'm not going read all 2000 posts lol! I too am looking to get my hands on one of these boards, more than likely through the vaporshark dna 200. Ukegicstore will be selling it and I have a rather large amount of store credit to use so might as well put it to good use!

I came here to ask a couple of things, and before anyone asks I have already joined the Evolv forum how ever I don't think my questions will go down to great in a developers / early adopters forum and then I found this thread and I thought perfect!

I am hoping in a nice big forum like this that someone has a dna 200 chip (any device) and access to Linux? I know the escribe software will load on Linux using playonlinux which basiclly allows Linux to use windows programs. So the escribe programming works, its updated to latest version. I want to know if the DNA 200 can communicate with escribe without having to mess around changing files or hacking stuff? Purely on a Linux system I mean, we all know it works on window's.

I am really excited about the possibilities with this chip and while I am not a software developer or anything I am the kind of guy who like to fiddle and mess and tinker with stuff. I love updates.

My phones I unlock the bootloaders and flash kernels and root, I run the M preview on my nexus 5. I use fastboot. So you can imagine the joys I might be able to have with this how ever I don't want to buy a windows laptop to just use this escribe software, I can't justify the total costs.

On the Evolv forum I had mixed responses from 2 staff as to if it might work or not both saying different things. So I'm hoping a normal regular guy will be able to yes my DNA 200 communicates with escribe using playonlinux or it wont, cheers.

Not to many have DNA200 devices yet and I certainly have no Linux OS so no help in what you are asking. I did run a quick search in Evolv's forum on the word "Linux" and there were numerous posts and maybe your answers are there already.

Here is but one post (of many):

The DNA 200 communicates over USB HID, as well as supplying a standard USB CDC serial port (/dev/ttyACM0 on Linux). We intentionally chose standard protocols so as to not require drivers on less common platforms. If you want to get it running on Wine, you'll want to contribute USB HID support to that project. Wine has needed that for a while -- it could use Dymo scales, many embedded programming tools, etc. if it had it. I don't think it would be a very large project, as the kernel hidraw is very similar to Windows's HID.

Thanks retired, that quote you got there was in direct response to me asking the same kind of thing I think. Then another staff member came and pretty much said 'it should work' but they have no plans to do a Linux version because the Linux desktop has a very small market share. I think they weren't even that convinced about doing a Mac os version. Anyway I'm no developer or so I won't be able to write drivers if that's what Linux needs, hopefully not though! Hopefully someone eventually will be able to give an answer either way to my question one way or the other. Thank for your response retired!

Someone earlier said Evolv was monitoring this thread so your post here may be seen by them... IMO it might be a thought to pose your question again on their site as they have been quite responsive on a wide range of questions.

I asked here as a hope to get a larger audience to hopefully find someone using Linux and owns a DNA 200. As for asking again on their forum I don't think theirs much point, I had replies of John (admin / joint head of Evolv) and James (admin lead programmer). So just going by their places within the company asking again I don't feel will help much but it was James response that gave me more hope. I have great respect for their team and company and really enjoyed watching a video of Phil Busardo having a tour round their sites.

and access to Linux?

As Retird mentioned, the Evolv forum has hit on this and the reality is that there may be a Mac version (next year?) but for the time being most Mac/Linux users should know how to take a windows executable and run with it, but in the end you are own your own.

Thanks BlueridgeDog, iv seen that on their forum already, I came here trying to just ask if anyone has tried it that's all. I already has read and accepted the rest of what you posted on their forum and I came here to ask a larger user base the same kind of question. Thank you

You might want to send a PM to TheBloke here on ECF. I think he might be able to help you.

I'd bet that VirtualBox on Linux should work. Provided you've got nothing against running a virtual windows box, that is.
Wine on the other hand may or may not be able to run the Escribe windows executable, especially for communicating over the USB port..
Unfortunately at the moment I've got plenty of Linux boxes but no DNA200 for testing, so it's pure speculation on my side [emoji4]
