So make your own then

Not true. Tamagoshi shared FW to download for years. I made research and simplified circuit to be compatible with new generation of mosfets and diodes and made mine own PCB design.
To be honest i spend like 150$ on development and sold 4 or 5 drivers for 20$ each shipped .Id like to sell few more to get my money back . So why so jealous? :slight_smile:

What exactly is not true?

As the author of this driver, I want to warn the forum readers that Quadrupel created this topic without my notification. Initially, he offered: “To reduce development costs, limited batch is available for sale. If interested PM .” This can be seen from the link at the web.archive.org: So make your own then - Off-topic Chatter - BudgetLightForum.com
After the ADE post, the topic author changed the first post.

I want to warn the readers of the forum that Quadrupel makes these drivers without my permission. He does not have the source code and does not able to provide technical support. The firmware and the scheme are published at the forum.fonarevka.ru, they are functional and you can build it for yourself and at your own risk, but please note that it is one of the first versions, which has been repeatedly updated later.

Once again, I want to inform you that I do not cooperate with Quadrupel and do not intend to do so in the future.

Mr. Tamagochi I want to thank you for sharing nice FW and i will update topic soon again to share with community my 20mm and 22mm PCB layout compatible with your FW .
Don’t worry mr, i don’t need your source code to support my hardware :smiley:
Anyone can use my pcb layout and design for free with your honestly shared FW :slight_smile:
Can you share your updated FW with this nice community? :slight_smile:
BTW same PCB layout works for both 6&12V FW only you need is to change resistors R4&R7 value .

You should declare the sources of FW BEFORE AEDe comment.
You should ask Tamagotchi for use FW in yours PCB design developed for selling.
Now it looks like you try to uplift some money, but have been caught on hot.

Thanks for advise . Next time i will do so and i will contact you personally to inform how im doing :slight_smile:
And again, Mr. Tamagochi shared FW hex. file back in 25.02.2017 without any licensing and its still shared and available to download . So please , stop complaning.

Quadrupel, I thought you designed this driver because in your original post before changing it you just said you were selling it to cover development cost and did not mention any credit to original designer Tamagotchi, and worse you even make pcb with 'Quadrupel' and 'BLF' printed on the silkscreen, so you cannot say that blf members are 'complaining'. Maybe Tamagotchi did not put license, but you make it look like you designed it yourself.

This looks like original design page: http://forum.fonarevka.ru/showthread.php?t=37158

If you use his design and you make some improvement, you should at least describe in more detail. If you had permission from Tamagotchi surely blf members will still support you because not many people can read fonarevka forum. Unfortunately you still seem like you are not sorry for doing this when caught by AEDe and Tamagotchi

Another crying jealous hater from fonariovka? PCB designed by me, so i named like i wanted . You can design your own PCB and name it like you wish, download firmware from link above and open own mass production.

You may have design pcb yourself but is obvious it is a copy from Tamagotchi and the layout is similar. There is no problem in copying if you have permission and give credit, but you hide it. I am not hater and I learned about fonarevka.ru for the first time when reading about AEDe and Tamagotchi post. I am sure most people at BLF are understanding if you made mistake because everybody make mistake, but it is sad that you did not apologise. You definitely have skill so I hope you can learn from this and make some new design that everyone can enjoy.

Its all in a name of progress!

My last project and goal. ;))

Boost driver for D10-D20-D25 headlamp based on Tamagotchi’s firmware . ;))

Is it compatible with Andruil?

Ask Toykeeper.

Just a quick feedback on these drivers.

Talked with Quadrupel about getting 2 of these but to adjust them to run GT-FC40 and OP agreed it can be done and after some time it’s done. PP, shipped...

Meantime Tamagotchi chimed in and i got suspicious...

Drivers arrived, connected on Convoy M21C-U and i got crap. It can barely squeeze 1A on turbo...

Disapointed at least, not to mention poor soldering job.

Sorry Quadrupel but you should properly adjust first post with real pictures of what you’re offering.

We know you have great ideas but your execution needs to be tuned.

“…connected on Convoy M21C-U and i got crap. It can barely squeeze 1A on turbo…”

You did what? Convoy m21c-u have 6V led . I wonder how it works at all.

What? Amnesia?

Do i need to post PM’s?

Calm down and explain properly.

Gonna use your way of talking: read again what i posted.

Im pretty sure your doing something wrong, but i wont help you.

Connecting 12V led with your driver (not tuned as confirmed before sale) and not getting what you declared?

Better close this thread, to be honest
