making a small batch of Texas Avenger "TA" Drivers fully tested running Bistro or Narsil, Clicky or E-switch, SIR800

I’d like one Narsil 20mm with short spring (okay for e-switch, right ? )
I plan to put it in my fried HC30, maybe with a triple 219C.

Your right, looks like I’ll need 21mm boards. The second driver is for an older skilhunt H02, looks like 21mm board also.

So I’ll take two 21mm boards and yes, please configure one of them with the resistor and instructions.

Are you using the default mode groups in you headlight? If you have any changes in the mode groups that work better for headlight usage please let me know.

Thank you very much.

I did modify the modegroups a bit so they fit better to the 7135*5+1 I did put in my skilhunt H03

For a fully equipped 7135*7+1 the standard mode groups will be OK
You can look in the Narsil code and tell me changes if you want

As the light has a DTP star you could also get a higher temperature value when the stepdown kicks in, as it dont get too warm holding in your hands

Hi Lexel I did requested for 1x 17mm bistro with long spring but i don’t see my name in the list.

Narsil Triple v1.4 got released some bugs are fixed and temperature management got updated

I will trust your judgment since your familiar with the host and driver. Please change the stepdown temp to what you feel is best. If you can make improvements on the mode groups I’ll trust your judgment on that as well. Otherwise we can keep them stock. Thanks

I’m a noob with drivers, but I would like to get one driver for my Convoy L6:

30mm, 2S, LDO, Narsil, short spring.

I plan to add a clear side switch with an led to indicate when the rear switch is on.

I would also like the option to have it turn on in turbo with the rear switch.

Are both of those easily done with the normal Narsil or does it require special work?

Thanks

Please add the indicator led option on my driver aswell :smiley:

Interested in an attiny 85 narsil in the size closest to fitting a courui d01.

The turbo on rear switch is just a few lines different code.
for the illumination of the sideswitch when rear switch is on I can add a 4.7kOhms resistor to the driver
Just keep in mind that a the driver supports as well a indicator LED you could add a green as power LED and a red indicator LED to the sideswitch
the indicator LED can be wired on Pin 7 with an additional resistor
I can add for both LEDs a resistor to the driver for 1$

Which size has the driver and how much space is in the lights body so parts dont collide with it

It is possible just to piggiback a small driver on the original board

there is a 38.5mm TA driver design that could fit

Of course , now it’s an awesome light . First , it’s running Narsil and second , it’s making 292kcd with a dedomed xp-g2 .

Made the driver with LDO for low parasitic drain :slight_smile:

More than 2S will burn the 7135 to hell

Yes on this FET-7135 driver, but I don’t run 7135’s only Straight up FET’s 2-4S no worries! Never used a LDO for a 1S 3v either and the Zener in 1S screws with the UI. But thanks!

Yes, please add both resistors. That will help me out.

Will I need to change the firmware code myself? I’ve never done this.

I assume that once the new line of code is added, the rear switch turning on will made the light come on in turbo, then I can press the side switch to turn it off to standby. Then it will function like narsil normally does, ramping up and down and turning off back to standby. Power LED stays lit.

Turning off/on the rear switch resets everything and makes turbo activate again.

Is this correct?

Oh wait there are two resistors for two leds? Then i want both haha

I need all the bells and whistles on my L6 :sunglasses:

I will flash your driver set to highest mode instead the 2 low blinks on drivers when you are requesting it.
As well other temperature for stepdown is possible, default will be 55°C depending how the light is build the head gets hotter than this value.

So every time you turn on the light with rear switch you will get a lot of light, so you could morse your SOS on your own,
a short press and the main LED turns off the power LED still on,
long press to ramp down or enter mode selection

I thought about a short video to explain how to operate and enter config mode of Narsil

Basically you can configure Narsil as you wish, ramping or modes, Mode Memory, indicator LED, Monn mode ON/OFF, brightness of moon,
just look in the manual its well written, after done the setup one time you get it, its similar to Bistro but a little different
after configuring 3 drivers for me its quite intuitive UI in the setup mode

This sounds great. Let me know when your ready to order it. If you only have 1 or 2 of this driver instead of 3, I might order one more so your not left with too many unsold drivers. Maybe I will buy another L6 to put it in. Lol

O.P. got updated with some other options
for 20mm and bigger sizes its likely to choose a spring with bigger diameter, that has less height when compressed

The extra boards on the 30mm are pretty cheap, the most comes from parts costs
only on 46mm SRK sizes the PCB price gets close as the parts for it costs, so it makes no sense to sell only one of this size and have 2 boards for 11$ left

I am not planning to stock those drivers in different sizes, just produce what is requested here and order some more of the 17 and 30mm,
as I am sure there will be more requests for those sizes as I wait for the parts

ordered today 200 AMC7135

As i had pretty long delivery time compared to Oshpark boards last time
Digikey delivers within a few days
