New 105D. replacing Nanjg-105c @ FT? (no stars!)

Thanks for the info, Simon!
Is it 2-group (3/5 modes), like before?

yes ,the stars is useless ,so i removed them
and of course i also have four groups version (with stars)

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

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

LD-25 Page Not Found - Aliexpress.com

no ,not this version ,the mode of LD25 in my stock is different ,
it’s
Lo (80mA) > Mid (700mA) > Hi (3000mA);
Double half-press: Strobe

Okay, I agree that your product is better, sorry ….

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.

uh ,yes ,you are right

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 Smile. 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!

Oops you're right - thought the OP was pointing to the other one for some weird reason...

:wink:

It seems ordering the four group version should force them to send one with stars.

That’s a good point Fritz.

For my own part I’m actually not interested in paying a higher price just for the stars, but other people might be. As far as I’m concerned the OTC can be placed on top of the driver and the most recent version of my A17PZL Nanjg-replacement driver has a place for sending your <1mm switch+ wire through.
