making 3. Batch Texas Avenger "TA" / Bistro HD OTSM drivers fully tested running Bistro or Narsil, Clicky or E-switch, SIR800

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!!! :beer:

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

They charge by the inch, so the total cost would be able the same buying them together or separately. unless you squeezed them together really close, which would make it very hard to handle later when you were actually using it.

on this one sheet you could place all sizes of driver stencils
the cost for one of those frames is always the same in those chineese shops, but I found only pretty expensive ones
