Yeah…definitely need a OSHPark BLF15DD [equivalent] (with tiny FET IRLML2502) and that momentary switch on the side, I think having the extra modes will definitely make the F6 that much better
Too bad they drilled out the very middle of that shelf…daggumit…why do the manufacturers do that…uggh
Didn’t someone post the dimensions of the Roche F6 driver somewhere?
I’m keeping an eye on the F6 for when I get some other projects knocked out. Your recent info on the BG F6 isn’t exactly encouraging though. It’ll be a little bit before I buy any, I hope the FT continues to sell the nicer ones.
Even the LED in the 'good' one is nicer... advertised as a U2, dunno about that but it's a nice tint. Looks very close to the XPG2 2B. The T6 (claimed) in the BG version is bottom-of-the-barrel nasty green tinted junk. And it's on a cheap AL board. The two lights are comparable in fit/finish/machining though.
Yep, Free to a good home but its Untested, No warranty, could use an attitude adjustment.
Really, its a good little driver. I’d like to see that it has a good start. Should have asked Rufusbduck if he would post an adoption flier in the OP. Uploaded to oshpark, just haven’t hit the share button.
I want to see it first (yeah, so I have 'commitment issues', lol), I'm sure I'll have questions. Like, what's required in the FW to make the voltage warning indicator work? I have no clue about that stuff, if it can't be fixed with a soldering iron and a hammer I'm lost. J)
And the 'switch' they 'upgraded' isn't the switch, it's just the stainless button & bezel, the switch is inside and soldered to the driver PCB.
F6 from Fasttech measures 108.5mm overall, Banggood F6 is 111.1mm (edit: actual measurements from the two lights, not just quoting what's listed in the descriptions).
