Added info about the springs, to stay below 10mm envelope thickness is 2.2€ cheaper to ship, so they are not soldered to the boards
I will start ordering parts, ask for Narsil configuration and send payment instructions the next days
Quick question: I’m building out 2 jaxman E2L triple hosts (single 18650 cell, nichia 219c leds) with clickie switches. Is there any advantage to having the Bistro HD OTSM in my 17mm drivers?
OK, found the answer & yes, put me down for Bistro HD OTSM
3/26 Flintrock wrote: “OTSM. (I think TA named it that). I think it means off-time sleep mode or something like that. It’s the replacement for OTC in bistro HD. It means that the length of a medium click is as steady as the watchdog timer, which as far as I can tell is about 10% even when hot, which is much better than many caps. It’s also not sensitive to all the resistor tuning that the OTC is, so should eliminate those headaches.”
Yes, the OTSM is by far the better option. The old OTC is the largest complaint I have had with BLF drivers by far.
Put me in for a 17mm and 30mm. 30mm w/ e-switch, 2S (5V cutoff) and Narsil. 17mm with Bistro HD, 1S, 2.5V cutoff.
I highly recommend 2.8 or 3V LED cutoff voltage, down to 2.5V there is almost no capacity and the cell ages a lot more when discharged that low
I am sending out the PM requesting for final information which hard and firmware settings people want
on first PMs there was an error stating Narsil v1.4 has no LVP this is only for 2S configuration
Also Narsil with a tail switch there are different options how the light reacts when the driver gets powered up
What options?
Lights like the L6 with tailswitch can be set up to go in turbo when battery power is applied (called “tactical”), or 2 low blinks or nothing at all - Lexel
NarsilM has cut the option in advanced settings to memorize last level, making the settings UI easier
first boards ordered from Oshpark
Thanks for the PM Lexel!
Letting you know, I just now received the (6) 30mm drivers from the first batch, and they look very Professional! Great Job my friend!!! 
Lexel; If its not too late to easily add 1 more driver-everything identical-to my two 17mm bistro HD OTSM please do. I’ll add $ to my total & paypal once you let me know. Cheers
Topic is now change from interest list to making 3. batch
Excel sheet updated
check if the order is listed there correctly
PM are sent to all
requested for detailed information how you like the drivers configured and which shipping service to estimate final pricing
Payment can be done in € as well, with Paypal exchange the currency the fees they charge me are ridiculus high,
makes only sense if you have Euros or not USD as your currency
doing paypal transfers fill the right side out, so it calculates your local currency
Dang. I haven’t got my first one yet, so I don’t know if I should get more. Lol
the first drivers from last batch arrived in USA, so it will be there soon
just couldnt find the tracking receipt for your driver
JasonWW I will try to find the receipt with the tracking number when I visit my parents tomorrow
(SMT Stencil) Order from China, very cheap, for TA series
Not bad, if you could get the PCB’s printed out as a panel then you could solder paste them all at once and save a ton of time!
I would need one of those sheets, but with the different sizes for TA drivers, also including the AMC7135 side, but I got no clue how to get those Oshpark files into one mask that contains all those sizes on one stencil plate
Then cut out the different sizes into round form to place em on top of the board
ordered today the 46mm boards
I did order last week the first boards (even before i bothered to send out PM for driver details or payment instructions)
and they got shipped today
I hope springs from kaidomain and 400 AMCs ordered as wqell last week from Aliexpress will arrive not with too much time delay
Don’t bother trying to get them all in one sheet, that would be WAY harder to deal with then just getting them individually. Just make sure to label them so that you know what is what. You can also reduce the edge clearance to the smallest they allow with this tiny drivers, there is no need for all that extra space.
as this stencil sheets are quite big I just would put costwise all stencils on one big sheet and cut em out later
