Evolv-ing Thread

[dwcraig1]

So I thought "where is that 22 mm Kree". Well it was time to have a peak at those 5 mods that I carry to work with me. I only see them maybe once a month when I pull them out to check on them, ya the Kree was there. All mods doing well.

Brother BillW50 I have scoured N.A and only found 1 place with any doors. I've sent an email asking if they'll sell to me/us as it's on clearance, and price. List was $25 each, but rumor has it at $2.50 each. They only have Red, Brown, and one of the 'ostritch' colors. Total of about 40. My Triade 'ostritch' is now the most hideous pale Pink with a smattering of brown. I'd probably want 6 (2 naturally, of each). I'll let you know That 'Black' is really great. Like a super tight mesh weave and I might just prefer it over leather.

For those of us not in the Great White North, though, it is about the same since we're not stuck with DHL shipping costs.

Options for you! Any savings to be had over FT? Not really! & the wait times would be just as long as FT I have checked out so many of those so called deals & none are ever cheeper than just FT & E-Packet Shipping

I can wait tibs


Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads

Investigating DNA250C Battery Drain​

I got curious about this so-called battery drain thing and why I see nothing as much as the reports. So I've been investigating this for the past couple of days. And here is what I believe is happening. And while the DNA250C is awake, it drains the battery 10mA for 24 hours after the last button press. I couldn't find this 24 hours mentioned anywhere in the manual.

After 24 hours, the DNA falls asleep and the current draw drops down to 20uA. Now pressing select or up/down buttons won't wake the DNA up. Only the fire button will wake it up. While asleep, the drain on the battery is so small that you won't see any further drop in the battery level.

So after the last button press, the DNA will consume 240mA from the battery before going to sleep. I don't know why Evolv decided to wait 24 hours before going to sleep, as that seems kinda long to me. So if you just press any button every 24 hours, it will consume over 2000mA in 8 days.

Ah the Service Pack makes the difference. My Centaurus and Paranormals have SP35 on them and it takes 24 hours before it goes to sleep (isn't SP38 the latest?). My Triades and Odins have SP33 (why are Odins shipping with such an old SP?). And SP33 they go to sleep in 1 hour.

 

[ShamrockPat]

BillW50 Where ya coming up with this info? Yes SP38 is the latest. One you update some certain service packs, you might think you're going back to say 33 from 38, but you're not, really. If in the middle of an update and it says 'Applying service pack (core)' that 'core' part isn't undone. The wording might be a little off, this is from my head,

Wow really? You can't really go back? Well luckily for me, I never updated unless there is a super good reason to. And the only DNAs that I can think of that I did update are some DNA200s and those I didn't notice any difference anyway. And all of those DNA250Cs except one I read the SP from Frank's Theme. That other one was from Odin that I never changed to play with looks like the Evolv default with an Odin background. It too reports the same.

 

[dwcraig1]

So Bill there are two different SP33's, one is SP33 dated 20118 and the other is SP 33 2 dated 2019. Which are you using?

 

[dwcraig1]

I have taken one of my 2050C back to SP33 as this doesn't sound right to me....the can't quite go back part.

 

[ShamrockPat]

And the only DNAs that I can think of that I did update are some DNA200s and those I didn't notice any difference anyway.

Done on the 200's also. It was a massive serious pain, but do you remember when Atomizer Analyzer ran all the way down to 0.002 for IR, and then it stopped. Even if you went and restored back to the last Feb 2016 SP where it did work? I guess that had a 'core' applied. At a mimimum, the SP in Sept 2016 gave you butter smooth TC. Known as 1.2 SP5 or 6.

I have taken one of my 2050C back to SP33 as this doesn't sound right to me....the can't quite go back part.

Yes, the SP will show you did go back in DM, but the really low level (core) part doesn't.

Maybe BillW50 can ask the author of his details to run that simple test. Go to 38, go back to 33 and check the timeout.

 

[dwcraig1]

Go to 38, go back to 33 and check the timeout.

That's what I'm doing, sould be a few more minutes.

 

[dwcraig1]

So about an hour and 20 minutes my DNA250C with SP33 did not wake when I pushed one of the other than fire buttons. With SP38 it would still wake at the 12 hour mark (that's only as long as I waited)
I have now updated it back to SP38 INT

 

[dwcraig1]

why are Odins shipping with such an old SP

My guess that Evolv made them a long time ago and stored them till needed.

 

[dwcraig1]

So I ordered the black one, came to $23.50 with MAP.

Funny thing when I got my Odin's, it said the 250c's were both programmed the same Day but one took an update & the other did not? You would think they both would have updated?

I have E-Scribe set to check as soon as a device is plugged in, it will show the need for an update. One did one didn't Strange!

OK. Here's more crazy talk from me
I imagine that the one that did NOT ask was plugged in after the first was already plugged in and escribe remained running

I have no idea. I guess EScribe would tell me.
