Making first DNA200 mod, know nothing/little about electronics!

[raz0r]

So, the title says it all and a stupid question but I guess this is the right place to ask those who've done it before.

I'm looking to build my own DNA200 mod but did really crap at physics in college. I understand the basics for my coils, mech mods and stuff but really want to start from the fundamentals and understand everything I need to know about electronics in order to create my first DNA200.

I know there are YouTube videos of people showing you how to put DNA200 mods together but I'd really like to understand what I am doing instead of just following someone else so that I can apply the knowledge in other builds should some new chip come about.

Stuff like circuitry, soldering, wiring, battery requirements, all that good stuff.

Should I start studying physics again or does anyone know any cool sites or videos that teach the fundamentals.

Dig around in the Battery Mods Forum. Lots of "stickies".

You may also find some information on Evolv Forum (and the datasheet): EVOLV - Home

Thanks, that's great.

I know of the datasheet but wanted to learn some fundamentals of electronics and circuits before I began.

Will dig into the Battery Mods section.

Also look at the Evolv DNA200 forum once you dig around in the modding forum.

Post makes little sense to me.

Chipsets are Integrated Circuits. All one would Normally do is Interface with Hardware.
Placement of Circuit board in container of preference, connection of Circuit board to functional parts.
In this case - Positive locations, Negative locations and Access to Control board command inputs.(switches)

Toss in USB charging as preferred.

Seems more about Mechanical ability than anything else.

I get the DNA200 just requires wiring and connections but I just really want to understand the basics of electronics.

And the USB charging bit, that's the tap part you are referring to right?
