In case anyone is on the fence or about to order some parts, I hear that there is a discount code for Arrow for a short time: ROOSTER17 I have not tried this, but it comes my way via another list that I follow and trust.
Yes, they advertise this on the site as well, I just saw it a little bit ago. I think I might grab a few more XP-L2 80cri 4000K LED’s, I put one in an M1 and REALLY like it. I am curious what it would look like sliced.
It can be either. Don’t know what firmware you are running, but it can be adjusted in firmware, so maybe the values used in your firmware are just a bit too low for your liking.
Well, someone correct me if I’m wrong but I think you could try to increase EDIT decrease capacity on the OTC, but you would shorten all switching times that way.
This is something I didn’t think about but since the 15mm PCB does not have the voltage divider the OTC timings would be changed as you can see.
As for fixing it, it could be done with either hardware or software. In the firmware you can recalibrate the OTC timing and fix it that way, this is the “correct way”. The other is to play with the OTC cap as mentioned above.
If you cut the OTC from 1uf to .5uf it should in theory cut the timing in half, so about 3.5-4 seconds.
The caps are not hard to find but then flashing a driver is not hard either. Just need $5 in hardware and a PC (windows and Linux works find and I am sure you can do it on mac as well). No coding needed if you have a hex file.
Although a cap is a bit simpler. Just a matter of finding the right size. a .5uf is a good starting point but I would try a few different sizes to see what works best. You can get assortments on ebay that should have a few values for you to work with for a few bucks.
I assembled the TA driver for Small Sun ZY-T08 MT-G2 mod. Tomorrow I will flash the TA Bistro FW in it but I have to wait for R4 and R5 resistors because I cannot found any of them at home or at work. I ordered them today from ebay.
Until the resistors arrive I starting to cut a 10mm thick Copper circle to fit in the driver cavity for better heat dissipation, and put in the MT-G2 on noctigon.
