Any Updates?

254

I haven’t heard back from PilotPTK yet… he seems to be hiding lately…

255

Any news yet?

256

Still haven’t heard back from Pilot about the PCBs… he seems to have fallen off the face of the earth… time to find Plan B…

257

I saw this thread hop back to the top, and my hopes soared. Then crashed.

258

Im wondering whats happened to the Pilot...

259

The problem that I have been having is finding somebody that can do round boards on a panel for a decent price. Getting loose boards is easy, getting them panelized so they can be mass produced has been a problem… quotes have been up to 20 times what loose boards can be had for.

260

What about loose pcbs for DIY?

261

Maybe put together DIY kits… I dunno there has got to be a way. Preferably in a way that gets you compensated for doing the the hard part.

262

This is the best driver topic ever. :slight_smile: I will be interested in two of these drivers definitely if you do begin building them to sell.
I will keep watch on this topic.

My $30 King died today, last week one of the leds quit and then today I tried using it briefly and the remaining two leds have only one mode, a new very weak moon mode. :_(

I used it probably 15 to 20 hours before it died, I was hoping it would last longer. I liked using it on low under the house fixing plumbing leaks. I guess I have a reason to mod it now.

264

I asked Fasttech how much for 5000 ’7135 chips? … haven’t heard back yet…

265

subscribing, and hoping

266

Still watching and hoping it goes well. :slight_smile:

267

Finally got a quote back on some large quantities of AMC7135 chips. Will probably build them up with 350 mA chips (2.8A/LED)… 380 mA ones cost twice as much. Adding a single 350 mA chip would bring the current to 3A/LED

268

This will probably be a stupid question, not sure if the pin arrangement is the same but could ATTINY85 be substituted with attiny13A ?

269

Good point on the cost savings. I will still be definitely interested in buying one or two of these if you build them with those modes you planned :slight_smile:

It uses the TINY85… code is around 6K long…
