Lexels driver compilation

Ah now it is clear! Or I need to make a lot 7135 driver to give the led about 4,5A and I can keep it in single cell form.

stacking 7135s is one option
the other is to have enough resistance from Cell PCB and springs

17mm 1s boot for xhp35 available?

I am currently making progress with them
Bistro HD OTSM got modified and seems to work now, still need to fine tune modes

Any updates on the boost drivers? My D1s is waiting :smiley:

Yes me too.

A boost driver for a Convoy S2+ and a 144AM would be legit AF.

I think many of us are waiting on the boost drivers… Having said that, I think Lexel is having issues with the firmware (narsil or bistro) working properly with the new drivers and he’s reached out to the driver gurus but they seem to be busy/nonresponsive.

NarsilM drivers will take longer as the Boards need to be changed again as well firmware modified

I’m just now seeing this thread. Sorry.

Texas_Ace already built a GT with the 70.2.

I seem to recall he upped the amperage to around 8A (12v). He was getting over 7000 lumens and I think 1600 meters.

I am not familiar with the black flat. Too small and weak for my needs.

OBF should get close to 2Mcd

If using normal CRI70 70.2 I estimate 650kcd with 12V 6A Buck driver possible to go to 7A, over 7A the sustained lumens do not increase much

I should get this week new boards for a far more efficient MOSFET than the old

at those currents it is critical to bridge the carrier springs

And the carrier contact springs too :wink:

The battery springs are from Copper alloy
but idnk why the carrier button spring is not, definately likes a magnet and has pretty high voltage drop

lexel, I finally got around to installing your GT driver in the XHP35 MT09R and WOW! It was only “decent” before but now serious. Stock led, smooth ramp 80% NarsilM v1.2. Got a little chirp on contact charge but good now. I took your suggestion and did not bypass the springs. Great driver! Keep up the super work!!

New generation of drivers releases now

replacing the at 2S unreliable AMC7135s
DD + small FET and resistors instead

MT03/09R XHP70.2
support of permanent switch LED plus MCU indicator with resistors


30mm for Convoy L6/ Thorfire S70S
support of permanent switch LED plus MCU indicator with resistors


20-22mm with 2 FETs and also 6+1 AMC

here with 1S configuration with 6+1 AMC
I had to drill out one via on the spring side partially that secures the switch pad from lifting if soldered too hot

17mm 2S with 2 FETs


17mm LX v1.0 FET+5+1
more filtering caps for very high drain builds

Lexel, what should I choose to drive an MT-G2 with 2*26650, e-switch only ?
(Maglite 2D host, big aluminum pill for high current)

30mm LX v1.0 with no AMCs

No AMC ? DO you use PWM on the FET to get lower modes ?

Not sure where the best place to ask this is, so I’ll give it a try here. I had some boards made using: your ‘new’ 17mm TA layout. I built one in a 1s configuration with an ATTiny25v with no LDO, Zener or bleed resistor using recommended components and resistor values.

I flashed it with the bistro-TAv1-OTSM-HD-attiny25.hex file provided in the Bistro-HD v1.7.1 distribution.

It works great, except for one thing. The voltage readout is wrong. It usually reads out 4.2. I may have seen it go as low as 4.1.

My understanding is that the firmware I am using reads the voltage from Vcc. So I am really at a loss as to what could be wrong. My understanding is that 1.7.1 is pretty well tested for OSTM configs, but should I be using v1.4.1instead?

Thx.

It depends on the voltage drop on the diode, there is also some variation from MCU to another
voltage readout can be off 0.1V this is normal

Hi.
How can I buy those drivers?
I am interested in 17 and 20mm boost drivers. Is it works with low current buttons?
