Now that looks awesome. Any feedback on the layout Comfy?

It’s the SRK FET 46 mm driver listed in the OP. It looks real sweet you guys.

AWESOME!!!

I see you cut a notch for “easy removal” :stuck_out_tongue:

Beautiful…just got mine in today and incredible soldering comfy! AWESOME, pure awesome!

Oh yeah and comfy…any problems with the 1.6mm thickness vs the 2mm of stock drivers?
Can’t wait for a “review” and stats of the board

That’s slicker than dear guts on a door knob. Do you guys think it will fit into an M6 as well?

What is the diameter of the driver?

46mm

I'm an Idiot lol. SureFire M6?

It would be real handy if the first post included links to the posts here at BLF pertaining to each individual project.

The 46 might not fit…but the 17 or 20mm will :wink:

The only little thing I can find is that the pin2/pin3 selector thing for the switch input could be tricky when removing/replacing the switch wires, if it's done at the driver (if you use a wire lead to bridge the gap, the soldering iron will tend to suck it up when removing the switch wire). But I tend to tear things apart and tinker much more than most 'normal' people, and I plan to still add a 2 pin header on the little switch PCB for that reason anyway, I don't like unsoldering stuff when I don't have to. That's a very minor thing and I'm weird, it will probably never be an issue.

Warhawk, I dunno, but Richard is going to be selling them, gotta mod one. Gotta! That driver is just compelling. I feel drawn to it like a moth to a flame. (And if you have seen me solder than you’d know that analogy fits perfect). I figured one of you knew. I will do a search on some of the reviews.

Matt, an idiot? Not from what I have seen. A poorly phrased question I will grant.

Good call. I thought about it but haven’t done it yet. Some of the work was done behind the scenes but there are certainly parent threads even for those.

I believe the M6 has a larger ID driver compartment than the SRKs, so if it fits the SRK it will fit M6 with plenty of room to spare. Drivers that fit the M6 will not necessarily fit the SRK (I think DrJones ran into that issue on the one he did recently).

In a SRK...

That capacitor kabob thingy smooth out the current so no whining?

It does on the original mule PCB (the red 'JB' driver), this is the same circuit just on a new board so no reason it won't do the same here.

So very cool.

Comfy, these are the parts that I need here. I think you linked them somewhere before. The tiny13 will need to be flashed right?

Yes, MCU will need to be flashed. Add one of these to your Digikey order, it's cheaper there than ebay: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/5250/501-1311-ND/745102

And then these for the rest of the stuff needed:

comfy, that's the cleanest board I think I've ever seen! All purty for the pics!

I ordered the 7135 based 46 mm's because I got a ton of 7135's now and need to use them on something, and think'n I'd like to keep the SRK lights regulated, somewhat anyway - I'll still pile on 7135's, but more in the realm of 3.5A per LED. Also ordered the 17mm and 20mm FET based boards.

Comfy, that’s awesome. However, thinking of my recent experiences,

And also

Maybe I should just harvest a tiny13 that’s been flashed and reflow. My soldering is getting better since I trashed the MTG2 driver- but it’s not good. Although, my ego and enthusiasm make up for it :wink:
