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

Well, if you are ordering from some other stencil manufacture then yes, the pricing could be cheaper. From oshstencils though it would be able the same price due to how they charge by the inch and not by the sheet.

Excel sheet up to date

missing only a few ones

please check if the information of drivers, settings, shipping and address is correct

Do you have a 30mm available? You ordered 7 boards and have 7 orders, but it says you have 2 on order? I’m not sure I understand the chart.

I like my first one a lot. Is it possible for me to order a 30mm or is it too late? If too late, will there be a 4th batch?

I was hoping for a 30mm 2S LDO Narsil v1.2 with LVP, large spring, (tail switch - no output)

If not to late i would like to order

1x 17mm Bistro HD OTSM 2s LDO no spring
1x 17mm Bistro HD OTSM no spring

use lead solder on both

7 boards 30mm are requested so far
9 boards ordered from Oshpark, 6 last week, 3 yesterday as I got past 6 boards
So I got 2 boards that are left, like the 15,20,21mm that are left from last batch

From Oshpark you have to order 3,6,9 aso.
Thats Why I say big sizes makes no sense if I got only one requested and have to buy 3

Its no problem to make more drivers atm, if needed I will order more PCBs from Oshpark

But
when first Oshpark boards and the AMC7135 arrived here, then I am going to order parts from Digikey which get delivered within 2 working days UPS express

At this point the parts for a few more drivers are within that Digikey order for the case I screw up destroying a component building the ordered drivers.
Thats the phase, where I can add a few more orders and thats it for this batch.

Question regarding LVP in Narsil can it be calibrated/set through the config settings or just in code before it’s flashed to the board?-

My driver is going in a modded T01, so I’m trying to determine specs ahead of time unless it’s possible to do it in config.

Thanks!

EDIT: found the answer - it’s done in the firmware before flashing. I like the default lvp stepdown. Nicely done.

Yeah Tom E changed LVP to 2.8/3V for the Q 8 before it was 3.0/3.2V I can calibrate that to any level you want, 2S needs modified voltage divider And then change the setting before flashing to match 2S LVP

For medium single LED lights or big multi LED lights I recommend Over Temp Protection of 60-70dC

If your light has a tailswitch as well you can choose how the driver reacts to be powered on with a forward clicky tactical with turbo makes sense

more 30mm driver requests come in

I ordered today 6 more 30mm boards, but those drivers ordered lately will be ready a bit later as those boards will be produced almost 2 week later than the first

For Bistro OTSM 2S I got the information it may be running only with LDO properly, I asked flintrock if this is the case

Lexel, on the 30mm boards what diameter would they be without the excess material on the edge?

Is the center part basically the same as the 22mm?

the center part is almost identical to 22mm, some parts have a little more space between em like the bleeder

you can reduce it to about 24mm and still got some copper ring around

Do you use 350 or 380 mA 7135s?

350mA

When the time’s up to make an order?
I think that’s the driver I want, but I changed my mind twice in a week and would rather have it settle in me :slight_smile:

Getting in the final stage of ordering the parts

first 6 Oshpark boards and 200 AMCs arrived yesterday

today a big part of Oshpark boards arrived

just amazing how tiny a 17mm driver looks compard to 46mm

BUT
3 of the 22mm LDO bards came without contact ring on the MCU side
and 3 46mm SRK without the contact ring on the retaining ring side,
just removing the paint with a knife or chemical will work

I will contact Oshpark to get replacements for them,
but it should not be a big deal to use em, only if you got no problem with it
or you got to wait another 3 weeks

Please everyone check if the data in the Excel sheet is what you want, I will build what is listed there


Parts from Digikey will get ordered today

Batch is limited to 58 drivers by the SIR800 FET

2 Backup MCUs ordered in case one is faulty like last batch so probably 60 possible with IFR or LF PAK33 (15mm)

43 drivers are taken 2 pending feedback

I’d like 2*17mm. Max number of 7135. It can go without firmware, I want flash my own Bistro-based image anyway.

I will flash it for testing the driver anyway, of course you can send me your custom hex file

Standard TA Bistro or HD OTSM?
OTSM has more expensive parts but no more issues with hot light and OTC timing getting almost unusable
springs?

:+1: mine are OK

Seems ok

All good on mine.
