I planned to spend 200-300 but it came out to 500-600.
EVERYTHING came out wrong the first time and had to be done over at least once.
It took all winter, couldn’t finish in time for the spring desert trips, couldn’t stand waiting until the Fall so I went out to Calico last Friday night and back just to take pictures. It was 92 degrees at midnight.
Awesome project, congratulations !
I love the shape, minimalist design yet great functionality !
Did you have any problem with the russian drivers ?
I use on to feed my motorcycle auxiliary lights and find pretty reliable.
Wow I wish I’d seen that earlier! I didn’t know the spec’d drive current could be exceeded on a continuous operating basis. The drivers will go to 3A with a sense resistor change. The heat sink will probably be insufficient, but I’ll set up a test and find out. I might be looking at excessive losses in the 14ga 12ga wire from the battery too.
Yeah, you could probably increase that wire size several gauges higher, and go ahead and up the current to 3A max. Since you’re using DTP copper MCPCB’s I don’t think that would be a problem. But then again, I could be wrong. I’m looking forward to results from your testing! :partying_face:
No. Build quality is good. All worked. I fried two playing with their PWM hookups, but that was my fault. I ordered three batches. Took about 4 weeks to deliver each time.
