At this rate you will surpass myself in the most TA drivers built lol.
The latest drivers do look much better, you donāt need much paste at all. This is why the stencils are so nice, they give you the perfect amount and put it in the perfect spot every time and in a a couple of seconds too boot!
A tip for better reflowing is to reflow the top side components first and heat the pcb from the bottom with about ~350-380c air. First off this lets you use much higher air speeds without blowing components off and it also ensures the best possible connection.
The 7135 side just do like normal from the top of the components. They are much easier to deal with like this.
Those shorts are almost always a result of too much solder paste. This is why I recommended the stincles. They make it much easier to get the right amount but not too much.
This is a case where less is more.
The mask looks good, the solder looks to have been pushed up from the FET having too much paste.
Generally if you replace the 7135 and reflow it back on it will work fine as that removed a little bit of solder paste when you do that.
tactical means if you got a tailswitch the light always get in turbo as you turn the power on
there are 3 settings atm for start up, 2 blinks with low mode, turbo and no light
indicator LED blinks out what you configured it in UI settings
lighted sideswitch just lights the switch as soon as you connect the battery with tailswitch, but it has parasitic drain and can overdischarge batteries
Sorry for the setbacks. I hope youāre having some fun putting these together. I can tell your very organized. Iām sure that has helped make it much less frustrating.
Iām looking forward to having four more lights unified, all running Narsil.
I appreciate the work You, Texas_Ace, TomE and others have done to make these possible.
Okay, mine doesnāt say tactical on the spreadsheet, but it should.
Also, I only need the lighted side switch, so I think Narsil v1.2 is what I should go with. That way I also have the low votage protection.
Yes, thatās fine by me. My hand is the temperature protection. Lol
Plus, Iāve recently switched to unprotected Liitokalas for more output so the LVP is more important to me even though Iāll have the lighted side switch to tell me if the rear switch is on or off.
