E1320, of course you're one of the others I was thinking of. I think you're 5-mode driver is becoming very popular already. The moon low is quite handy for this mode group.
DrJones, I didn't realize shipping for you was that reasonable. I'll have to definitely keep you in mind in addition to Erik. That unique memory programming is certainly practical. It's a good compromise for those who are on the fence about memory.
There was a third I couldn't put my finger on but DrJones just refreshed my memory - It's Tido. Hopefully he can chime in.
I just sold a driver to someone who didn't want memory. I convinced him to try it, and he likes it :)
It allows you to have many modes with memory but without the hassle to cycle through all of them.
Tido's firmware was the first I've seen, and the first 'programmable' one (i.e. configurable by the user, luxdrv has learned that much later, only a few weeks ago) and certainly an inspiration :)
Sorry, I prefer not mixing hobbies and business. I’ve got a day job writing kernel level code for eight to ten hours a day. Being obligated to code some more in my free time would suck all the fun out of this hobby.
Since the BLF-VLD is open source, anybody is free to sell drivers using it. Just make sure you are complying with the GPL by telling your customers where to find the source code.
I have no experience with XPEs but I can make you a single mode driver. If have to add 7135 chips to a driver I charge $10 bucks for it shipped mostly because it’s real easy to wreck them when trying to add chips.
I don’t know of any good programmable 16 or 17mm 8.4 volt drivers and I have no idea how to make a Nanjg drivers memory switch modes when you shut it off like the Manafont driver .
Just a 4.2v single mode XP-E R2/R3/R4 drop-in. Probably 6 x 7135? It’s not really that custom unless you consider a single mode driver as custom. Just wondering if I need to buy all the parts myself or if it can be done easier.

If you can solder just get a 6x7135 from KD and run a jumper from the first 7135 chip to the positive wire out and that will bypass the microcontroller and give one regulated hi mode. You can also strip two chips of of this single mode driver I linked it’s much easier than adding chips.
I use these from 4-6 7135 chips when I go above 6 chips I use a Nanjg 105c and either strip or add chips with the jumper wire to bypass the microcontroller.
I have the ability to flash Atmel ATTiny13 based drivers. I’ve used Tido’s code for some, but also built some of my own programs. I’ve programmed some drivers for some members on here, although the only person I can think of right now is mattthemuppet. I should put together a list of the different features I can add in to each program, although they are not nearly as advanced as what Tido and DrJones can do.
If you are in the US and in need of a driver with specific levels/modes, different mode switching, memory/no memory, etc., shoot me a PM.
Not something that I can do, only because you want to run 8.4v. See DrJones’ first post - for these NANJG105C drivers, you only want to be running one lithium-ion cell (I can run them on two primaries ~6v, but I’m not sure about the longevity due to the extra heat created).
