Wouldnāt it be great to get a constant current driver with Anduril and limit it to the current you specify?
With my E17A flashlights, Iām using a Convoy Driver for SST40 ,12groups which maxes out at either 5 or 6 amps depending on the size. I then set it to group 8 which limits the current to 50%, so either 2.5 or 3 amps.
Ideally it would be nice to go up to 4 amps, but with the 4 modes up to 50, Iām very happy with the driver and the flashlights get plenty bright. The 0.1 moonlight mode is very low and the driver accommodates a lighted tail switch without a bleeder resistor, which is also very nice.
Recently I bought some 5A/6A Convoy drivers (17mm/20mm simple 4 mode and the 12 groups). They installed single R020 instead of the older ones with R010, I donāt know if another parts might changed too, but it still managed pulling 5-6A at the tail. So you need to make sure before changing the resistor.
I reprogrammed the tail in my v11r. Due to the slow pwm it screwed with the camera and i couldnāt get an accurate video representation. In person it looks like a burning ember (kind of a sped up candle flicker)
What better and fast method to make the surface of the shelf lapping and remove those residual steps?
I thought first file the edges of the pill (2mm height of material) and then get to the shelf with fine sandpaper
I never found an easy and good way to lap a surface inside a cavity, just tedious imperfect ways. But on some occasions when that was no problem I have indeed removed the entire edge of a pill, then it is easy to make a perfect surface.
Yes,pill itās from old C8 with glued 16mm Ledā¦that I would mod with 3A driver + SST20 or 5A XP-G2.
At least the shelf is not concave,but have machine marks and lacks screws that hold mcpcb.
Iām afraid that the pressure of the plastic reflector isnāt enought for heat transfert,
I have also a spare Alu reflector,but it will require a 20mm mcpcb to avoid short circuit and enlarge holes cables
