What did you mod today?

I made custom driver for EDC05. It offers linear 3.2A, Anduril2, RGB switch.

3.2A linear in a AA sized host w/ Anduril2 is not something you just post a video about. This is straight up the pinnacle of modding for this light/size and needs more details :slight_smile:

edit; I left it unspoken but lets just put it out there. WELL DONE!

Very nice!

Reminds me… I should go back and redo my Utorch UT01 3 amp linear driver to use the attiny1616 so I can load Anduril2 on it.

Oh, so you made ut1 with anduril? Can you give me some link on PM?

You guys are making me jealous :cry:

I have a Manker E11 that could get one of those drivers :innocent:
Love that light, but the UI is not what I’d desire. But I have no skills to do something similar or whatsoever… :person_facepalming:

WallKiller: pretty cool :sunglasses:

It is possible to get hex file to fw3a from you (Contactcr)? I can’t send you PM (some BLF problems).
And i’ve got some attiny question to you (gchart) can you write me an email, because of this problems?

This is my email: adrian.gwis@gmail.com

The text of that post is a link to the detailed post including an Oshpark link. Hit me up on PM if you want.

Honestly, now that I modded the Sofirn SP10S with Anduril2 and it still retains AA boost functionality, it’s become my go-to AA/14500 light.

Hopefully it will revert in favour of the SP10S BLF Edition, which I thank :face_with_monocle: :partying_face:

The hex file link was in the post between the video and the last pic! Here: google drive link

Or if you want to compile it yourself, the ramp tables: #define RAMP_LENGTH 150#define PWM1_LEVELS 0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 - Pastebin.com

Thank you so much.

Wow, nice one. And nice job moderator007. I use it every day as my bedside light. Awesome light.

Fet+1 into a Wuben E05 with a 4000k SST20. I sanded down a Mountain Electronics e-switch board and 3D printed a spacer that supports the switch. The switch board is then epoxied to the spacer. Really liking this one. I’ll be building a couple more.

Now there’s thinking outside the box on tricky switch situations! Nice job. I might have to employ that trick sometime.

loving the warm floody stepless rotary

lubricated control ring, and did lots of twists
got the dial turning nice and smooth, no more gritty Ti

added CRX glow gasket

added Sapphire Lens :heart_eyes:
(no blue AR coating)

great Golden Hour light!

I got a attiny 412 swapped on to one of the convoy t2 boost drivers I have been messing with. Huge thanks to gchart for sharing his clicky firmware. I tweaked it to pwm on pin PA2 to match the layout of the convoy driver and I increased the PWM frequency as that allows for a lower low mode on these drivers. The OTC is across pins 7 and 8.

After the pic was taken I put a jumper across the 0.2 ohm resistor that sits between the fet and led -.

With the resistor jumper in place I took current measurements at the LED (nichia 319) and got 1.8 mA on low and 1.01 A on high. I used a cheap meter with standard leads so actual current in normal use is probably slightly higher. Freshly charged energizer NiMH.

Awesome!! Nice job :beer:

Welcome to the AVR 1-Series club. Glad to have a another member on board. May I ask, which programmer did you use? And let me know if you think there is anything I should add to my guide thread.

I used the 416 xplained nano board.

Swapped to a LH351D 5000k 90 cri. Measured at the led with the same crappy setup I get 2 mA on low and 1.2 A on high but drops quickly. I’ll do some torture testing to see if the bypassed resistor becomes a problem but I think it’s excellent output for a single AA boost driver.

I have some suggestions and questions. I’ll be PMing you when I have some more time. Thanks again!

Something simple:

Convoy C8, Kaidomain 5A driver H17A, Osram KW CSLNM1.TG 6N-ebzB46-65 White 5600K - 6000K

I took measurements:

Astrolux FT03/SST40@5000K/HLY-26650/5000 mAh - 15940 lx @4m - 255040 cd - 1010 m

Convoy C8/Sofirn unprotected 18650/3000 mAh - 15000 lx @4m - 240000 cd - 980 m

Springs are not bridged (tho the Astrolux has double springs) and I cannot measure current.

Both values appear a little high. Measured distance precisely and intensity with a Benetech GM1020.

I just did a Wuben E05 with a fet+1, but I’ve been on a real boost driver kick lately. This is a E05 with one of the red convoy T2 boost drivers I have been experimenting with recently. A lot of the basic boost drivers you can buy are based on the PAM 2803 boost controller which lists a quiescent current of 1-3 mA. I measured a couple myself and they were both right at 2 mA. That’s a bit to high for a AA e-switch light IMO. The convoy driver uses a different boost controller and what I discovered is that ~5 seconds after power is applied the parasitic current drops to ~0.1 mA with a 14500 and around .45 mA with a NiMH. That’s not incredibly low but it’s actually lower than some production lights I’ve seen measured, and plenty good enough for me. Fully charged to fully discharged eneloop would take around 6 months if my math is right.

I recycled my filed switch board with 3d printed spacer technique for this one. I used a attiny85 rotated 180 degrees with the PWM trace cut and a jumper to the PWM pin on the attiny85. Switch connections were made directly to the legs on the attiny. I used Narsil, green switch LED’s and a LH351D 5000k 90cri.
