DNA 75 Color

[VapingBad]

Since I am aloud to post about these now I can give you an idea what to expect.  I have been testing one for Evolv for a while now and they vape as well as you would expect from an Evolv board, excellently and they support higher resistance than the DNA 75.  But the main advantage is you will be able to adjust things on the mod that you previously needed to use EScribe to change.  The interface is completely customisable, it can be as simple or as complex as the designer wants.  There is a Theme Designer program the will come with EScribe that will allow to change existing themes or create new ones.  Creating from is probably not going to be for most people as it is a learning curve, but swamping a graphic or two, putting you name and mobile number on the lock screen is easy enough that anyone could do that.

These are long videos so you may want to skip about them a bit.





Here is a taste of a theme I made from scratch, it is not finished, it will be freely available to use or edit when the Theme Park goes live, I will also provide the SVG files for graphics. Have a look at the Busardo videos above for more detail, I don't want to get too specific at this point as some things will probably change before release. Remember it can be as simple as you want so don't be put off by how complex it looks, my theme is very easy and intuitive to use, no button combinations to remember, not interested in temp protection turn it off and those setting are hidden.

The screen is 160x80px, you can have either orientation, but not both in a single theme, you can have up to 3 backgrounds and smaller images of any size, subject to storage. You can use any fonts, but in 3 sizes, they can be different font families if you want. You can add up to 8 conditions for a field, including default = no condition, these would be things like temp protect = off or battery level < 15%. There are gauges where you provide an empty and a full image, like the brightness, preheat and battery in my theme. There are also Toggles, the same as gauges but for on off, like the check boxes and the stealth mode icon on my themes. If you add a is charging condition to the battery gauge adding 2 more images with the lightning bolt you can get a more functional gauge, but it is a learning curve.

There is also a status field (has Evolv DNA in the screen shoots) that will show warnings and tool tip like text you can set for any element that can get focus. There is a Theme editor where you create or edit these graphically, it can run stand alone. None of the materials stuff on my theme is implemented yet, but as the aim is to be able to do most everything you can do in EScribe I would expect them to. You can also have up to 3 backgrounds.

This is the latest theme I have done, the photos are a slightly older version, it has status indicators at the top of the main screen, in the photos the 1st is if Temp mode is enables and the 2nd shows "PH" for preheat enabled, "--" for preheat disabled, "PWR" when temp protect is off and hopefully "???" when if drops out of temp mode. Also Temp swaps for voltage when not in temp mode, and the Atty Profile page hides fields when the parent feature is disabled, you have to is this one field at a time and they have to be the same size, and you cannot overlap elements.






When you navigate around anything editable or clicikable gets highlighted, then click an editable field the highlight colours change and the up & down buttons set the value, click again to stop editing. Also if the status text is set for any of these elements it displays in the status panel at the bottom of most screens, where it shows "Evolv DNA" in the screen shots.

On the main screen if you click (with centre button) the profile name you are taken to the atty screen, if you click watts, temp or ohms you can adjust the settings with up & down, click again to set. The bar is a slider for the brightness, the magnifying glass take you to the Info menu and the cog take you to the Settings menu. All info screens have the blue background and all settings screens have the dark red background.

Hopefully all the info screens are self explanatory except Live View as the graph doesn't show up on the screen shot. On that screen clicking the arrows take to to previous or next puff, clicking the puff number take you to the latest puff, which is also the default. Clicking the graph take you to the Love Fields screen where you select what to record, as with all child screens scrolling past the top or the bottom take you back to the parent screen.

Hopefully the Settings screens are self explanatory.

These are the current fields you can access in a theme, I'm sure there will be more to come.





Remember it can be as simple as you want so don't be put off by how complex it looks, my theme is very easy and intuitive to use, no button combinations to remember, not interested in temp protection turn it off and those setting are hidden, you can just stay on the main screen and ignore the others.

They would just leave the default theme, or download a simple one, no doubt some themes will come out that hide and disable temp protection and just have wattage, res and charge.

Very informative post VapingBad, just goes to show how far you can go customizing as much, or as little as the user wants. No doubt i'll have a little tinker in the near future.

Cheer's

I get the default and just have the wattage bit but then you lost me mate.
ok i know i am a thick hairy arsed machine driver but dam its ok you going its a simple set up but to us mere mortals its just not.
As has been said above i honestly think most want a mod thats plug and play not plug and spend a week in total confusion 
because they have pressed the wrong setting.
I do also get for some this is the best thing since the last best thing but wayyyyyy over my head.

@broadblaster I made a theme just for you



You would just download the file, double click it and the Theme Installer would open, you click yes and job done. You would have to had install Theme Installer or EScribe first.

The only adjustments you would have are Watts and Screen Brightness in this example and it would work fine with non temp sensing wire. The bit where ist says "Evolv DNA" would show the status messages like check battery Etc.

Wonder what they're working on now, to release in another couple of years?
TBF @broadblaster the first vid shows the board to be relatively easy to find your way around, in fact Brandon says something along the lines of

You could hand it to your mother and she'd get along fine with it

(not that I'm comparing you to a elderly mother)

Ah right i can get that i just about understand that bit and i thank you for being patient and doing this to show me how it could / can work 
BUT the thing is you can do this and make this theme for me as you know how it all works but say i bought a mod with this set up / board and did not know 
a person with your skills then i would be up the dirty creek without a paddle 
I do wonder how many people will think oh look i can alter this and that and then render  the mod useless until they can find a man with your skills and understanding of how these things work.
I hope i am making sense in what i am trying to say mate 
Again VapingBad thank you for your time in trying to help me understand some of it.
