[SALE] lighted TIR boards, D4, D4S, ROT66, MF01 multicolored with low battery waning and LVP

Interested

my Bistro HD OTSM drivers are not affected by a bleeder resistor for tail switch lighted
on e-switch lights nothing gets affected by switch or TIR LEDs

but a Tail clicky light with TIR has the problem as no ground is available when the tail is off, so wont work

Interested in D4 board. Though I don’t fully understand what it is. :wink:

first Emisar D4 sucessfully modded
as I had no feedback on the solder pads distance the first batch is 0.7mm off but no problem to solder even 0.75mm² wires if carefully filed the holes to one shape

the ones with Gen 3 LVP will be different, holes distance will be right and no filing as I routed wires between the 3 center holes

This is first board made, I had some mishaps like blowing it with hot air from reflow plate as the 0.6mm thick weights like nothing half the components fell of
ripped solder pad removing a resistor but in the end it works
Note that I have not ordered yet 0402 resistors so they are all 0603 too big for pads but it works at least, the 2 capacitors are 0402 and fit nicely

also replaced the original 0.35mm² wired with 0.75mm²
future board will look nicer

flashed NarsilM v1.2 on the Emisar

Wow!!

Some PINK leds would go a looong way towards justifying multiple D4S purchases to my wife.

:innocent:

What drivers will this work on? Any e-switch?

I’m considering getting a D4 now…

I am interested in this.

Oh wow…I am really interested.

I’d be interested in an e-switch version… Possibly for a bigger light like the L6 or the S70.

Lexel ?

How about adding a bleeder between the spring pad and ground pad on the clicky board itself?

problem is the driver as the MCU want to power up

with normal D4 firmware it will be constant on as it has in the firmware the LED output pin not used
simply connect to LED+ and ground

D4S firmware has the LED pin used

I would love to buy one of these with amber LEDs to replace the blue in my D4S. I am looking to make a no-blue nightlight mode. Also would be interested in amber or red for the D4. Lexel, any idea when these will be available for sale?

Oh yes! Really interested in this for the D4 :smiley: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Soooo when can we buy them for the D4 ? :-p

They are already for sale

I’ve been thinking about using aux LEDs for illumination and the terrible beam shape that they produce. I see 3 possible fixes…and both might be hard to implement.

1. Mount them up on a pole, so they are close to the flat part of TIR
2. Add a light pipe above them to channel the light up to the flat part of TIR
3. Use optics legs as a light pipe

Is any of these doable in practice? If so is any of these a good idea?
Any other ideas?

the none symetrical diamond like sparkling makes the lighted TIR, its not wanted to be a symetrical light coming out of the front

BTW I finished first Prototype of D1 TIR with direct sight on the LEDs, I also have made a board that indirect lights the gasket, but not made one yet

It’s out of your focus…OK. Though I’m still interested. :wink:
The reason is that good thrower LEDs tend to have low CRI, you can have either throw or CRI but not both. OK, it’s a bit too harsh to say that you get no throw - you get some but not just a bit less; it’s way less.
Aux white illumination (f.e. with Oslon Pure) could shift that constraint. You get either high output and throw or CRI and flood. Which is not that bad tradeoff if you ask me…but the beam shape is a show stopper.

On another topic:
Lux-RC lights have a nice feature: they have a photo detector used in 2 ways:

  • for programming
  • to detect accidental activation, f.e. in a pocket - it sees the light from the main LEDs reflected back towards the light.

The second use case is what I’m thinking about now. A LED works both ways. ToyKeeper has experimented with using the main LED as a photo detector and programming the light with it. Cool trick. You can’t do this to detect accidental activation because your main LED is on.
But when your main emitter is on - AUX ones are off. Maybe they could be used to notice accidental light activation?
