Don’t sweat it. I know that if you’d had what I needed you’d have gladly sent it over. It appears that I left quite a bit of wiggle room for that diode in my own layout. I think that I have some much larger diodes on hand here with similar forward voltage drop. It’s not really the same thing but it’s probably enough to get things started if I can’t scrape up any BAT60A for the moment.
As for the link to the wrong thread - let’s face it, we are interested in both topics! I want a high-quality single-lion boost driver for 6V LEDs as well, it’s just as separate project. I’m glad you linked to it.
Thanks Gunga. If it’s PAM2803 (learn to identify w/ #10 here) you may want to hang onto it so that you can build one of these yourself. Since I’ve already got 3x of the donor driver on order from FT the only thing I’m really looking for ATM is that specific diode mentioned above. Once we can insure that that diode performs as expected and nail down another thing or two the layout may change. (Since that diode is so small it allows for changes.)
This person is awesome. They seem to be what most of us dream of being… designing and building drivers, doing firmware, turning flashlights, knurling, etc… all the while documenting it with pictures. I’ve jumped into the thread a couple of times since it was linked in this one - lots of great work to see.
