i changed to this driver on my cheap, underdriven xr-e c8. couldn’t stand the next mode memory, and it was very boring when it was underdriven. now it’s much more useful when it’s only 2-mode!
Used one of these in a build I like the direct drive part and then have another mode if you want it. No strobe no blinkies just good ole lumens in different doses…………. Mine pulled 1.3a on a green xre with long thin wires (was trying to be conservative) will shorten them and see if it pumps up the power.
I have played around and this little beast pushes 5A through my testleds…
I have powered it with a power supply so no voltage sag…but it got hot and smelled a bit warm.
and do you know is this time set by/in MCU, would it decrease if I add (or replace that 334/330Kohm) resistor on top of that capacitor (for faster discharge)?
It’s a good little driver. Even though it is DD it does not seem to draw too much, 3A is perfect and 1A on low. The thing I like so much is this simplicity. High or low, no nonsense.
