You can get them here for cheap:

If you are in a rush Shiningbeam also has an improved version of the board similar to the KD one but with the Atiny13 chip and I have successfully flashed these.

E1320,
Thanks! That's what I was looking for. I ordered one from shining beam to mess around with in the time being. I'll probably order a few more from Intl-Outdoor as well.
hello
I just wanted to say that this is one of my favorite topics :)
There is a lot of interesting things to learn here 
I have this lights and I hope I will be able to change modes on them from Hi>Low(too much low)>Strobo(annoying) to Hi>Mid>Mid low and add mode memory feature. Here's a picture of driver (the only picture that I could find on the Internet).
So, i am tuned here, reading&learning while waiting for my arduino uno tu arive :)
Keep it up with the good work, guys.
Cheers
Im really interested in programming drivers .. is there a how too step by step guide. Seems if you are lazy you need a PCB run by the ATtiny13 chip and download the Budget Light Forum Versatile LED Driver but .. seems theres a lot of details that id need missing from this post. Looks for something that says ..
Steps
1 you need a driver with these model numbers on the chip
2 get this usb programming interface board.
3 attach leads from here to here
3 download this programming software
4 back up existing code running on original driver
5 locate and change this and these and this hexidecimal value here to change the first mode
6 to add a mode edit this line and insert this code here
7 excute load function to commit new code to driver
8 install, test and enjoy
or some guide to this effect
Im really interested in this but seems not a lot of info like it was when people used to write / edit there own subscription cards for DirecTV.
Im ready to get started any help would be so so greatly appreciated
Thanks for the info and the help, guys! I have flashed 4 drop-ins so far.

Very interesting topic. I´m going to order stuff for programing my own drivers...
Nice read. Head hurts a little. Thanks everyone.
Anyone successfull with flashing Illiminationsupplys 8xAMC7135 (3.04A) (selectable) Mode Driver or is it locked down? Gots to start somewhere. hehe.
and thanks Tido..bows down I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!
I always wanted to create my own flashlight. When I was in primary school, I made a circuit board to light a bulb. I'll try this one.
Welcome to BLF, jyngwie!
I am pretty sure those new KD drivers don't have the right microcontroller for this method to work. Shining beam has some new drivers that I have successfully flashed.

So were not sure about the illumination supply driver with the tiny13a processor i linked to are locked down or not. They seem to have nice modes any way stock
Hey.
That modes has the 0.4V version?
This AVR programmer works well for recording these drivers?

$3.88 shipped??? For real??
Then again this guy even sold nearly 400 of this item and maintain 91.2% rating... must be the real thing.
"Watch list"ed.
Hey. I think it's real. There are other publications to 6 dollars too.
I'm going to buy and we will try. The prblema do not know anything about programming and I hope you help me to experience!.
Sorry to ask again, but light modes have version 0.4? Has ramp mode? I read the post but can not find. (perhaps not found, because they do not read English well).
Here I give you a link that has the clip SOIC 8. Not that quality will be, but is affordable.
I welcome your comments
thanks
Alexander
@Medicina: I dont think Tido's driver software has got ramping, but this one: https://budgetlightforum.com/t/-/4672
Hey. I read the post. But the link to download the code version 0.22, ramp mode does not work. Are there any other link to download?
thanks
Alexander
One of the programs I downloaded here had ramping and a flashing battery gauge. I am pretty sure it was sixty545s program. It had so many modes it was to confusing for me to use. I will see if I can find it on my computer and post it up again.
Also that programmer for $3.88 you guys linked to has a completely different board than the one I am using. It looked the same at first but upon closer inspection it is completely different. I am not saying it won't work, but it's totally different than the one I have that works.
I think this is awesome stuff, and I remember the first time I saw this thread about a year ago. I wish I was able to understand the coding involved here. This is something I was exploring years prior, after I bought a LiteFlux lf3xt and loved everything except the high....it just wasn't enough. Ever since then I always wished I could fix it.
I was wondering if there's anyone out there willing to program a simple setup - just a L>M>H with no mode memory. I've been playing with the code, and I can't make much headway. I'm not trying to cop-out and not try, I simply just don't understand it well enough to get what I want.
Just thought I'd try..... Maybe I need to spend some more time messing around with it....
I here you I took C programming in collage many years ago and I can't figure how to get the programs to compile now. Luckily I found someone to write me my dream program a 5 mode with no flashies and I have been using that on everything now. I can get Tidos and others programs to work, but writing them and then getting them to work is a whole different game. It's really amazing how smart Tido is an his willingness to share all this info is awesome.
