Crap, just noticed I got the same ones last week. I wanted to use the stars for OTCs… propobly gonna strip them for parts now.
Didn’t even notice that time, I’ve ordered them on 11.11. (105c 2 Group 2,8A)
Edit: My Convoy M2 I got today from FT has the same driver inside. I’d realy like to get my solder points back where they belong.

Created a ticket at FT, maybe they’ll sort it out.
Simon should know about these drivers then.

FYI, have manged to get a 5$ gift card (had 5 pcs).
Okay for me so far, didn’t want to spend any more time on this.
Don’t know what I’ll use the drives for, except it will most likely be in a flashlight.

So, the 105d is YOUR design? Are they for sale anywhere alone?

convoy-flashlight:
Nice! Though I do prefer the old way of soldering star than the updated 2 group version. The way it flashes once on low in three mode, always distracting.

I agree. I strongly dislike the blink/flash - it is startling.
and i have old 7135 verison ,
i also have LD25 with hidden strobe .
i think LD25 is better,no pwm
Yeah, if the blink could just be a quick 25% reduction in output (slight PWM drop then back up) rather than a full off/on flash that would be alot better

I think Simon’s response is based on the conversation: the one you linked to seems to have the ‘normal’ 2-group setup with annoying flash/blink.

This LD25 or another? This one has two groups. Do you have LD25 with 4 groups/stars?

I always buy these: fasttech.com-8-amc7135-2-group-25-modes . Bought a ton, usually 10 or 5 per order. I don't care bout the modes because I reprogram them all. Is there any difference besides the modes? Maybe these are still the old style? I got a bunch in stock now and am using them less often.
Actually my last buys were these: fasttech.com-6-amc7135-2-group-35-modes , simply because I have so many 7135's to use up. Was buying them in qty 100 from FT at the great price.
Actually I just noticed the two pics of the 2 group and 4 group mode drivers is exactly the same - no difference at all . So if you re-program, it's just throwing money away - not much money though...

Shame that there's no more star/pad for an off-time cap. Can't go back to on-time memory anymore.

I don’t think you paid close attention to the SKU. 1186301 is exactly what we are talking about!
