Good news!

I have spoken with Evolv this morning. The DNA30 was officially released today. Needless to say they were quite busy so they couldnt talk long.

Here are the pertinent details:
  • The DNA20 will still be available
  • The DNA30 is the exact same price as the DNA20
  • Either board will $35.50 (includes shipping to me) for an MOQ of 100 pieces
  • Evolv is considering a higher wattage Charger board but it is not written in stone yet
  • I am waiting on qty pricing on the 500mA USB Charger board.

Considering that the Poll was weighted (29% more) towards the DNA30, that is the Board I will run in the co-op. MOQ will be 100, with the possibility that I can order more than that if the demand is there.

I will also run both Chargers in the Co-op with an MOQ of 50 each.

At this point I am waiting on 2 things before I schedule the Go-Live:
  1. To get the pricing on Evolv Charger Boards
  2. For the Tibs Parts and Pieces Co-op to get firmed up.

Curious discovery. I was sanding a little bit of the lip off and look what was underneath.... WHITE.

It would seem that the color is not solid. I wonder if they dip it or just use a different material for the outside print layer.

In anticipation of the DNA30s, I just placed a big order with Mouser. Here are a couple of enclosures I ordered to play with.

For my 6000mAh "Punisher" Mod

For my "BetaTester" Mod. Going to add Test Ports and set it up to easily swap bats in and out. Might even add a DMM on the Input side. Still trying to figure out the best way to measure current on both input and output, and those minute resistances that BJ is measuring. Need to give this one some thought.
