Hey look at PowerPeg Thermal connectors. They provide the thermal performance of MCPCBs on FR4 substrate.

Below is a link to the website, and also my shared projects.

I knew I recognized your NIC from somewhere

P.S. you camping companion PCB any more info??

[TEMdude1]

It was a solar powered battery charger, with a small LED flashlight, and a buzzer. The PCB was a spindle to wrap fishing line around.

I couldn’t get enough power from solar panel to charge the battery though, so I deleted the project.

Aw man…ever thought of using one of those .9-4vdc~ booster circuits then feeding into a TP4056 charge controller set for 100~mA charge?

Got pics of it? Would really like something like this to tinker with…I built a few joule thief jobbies as well

Booster circuits require power to operate, which would drastically lower the ‘effective’ efficiency of the solar cell. I was going for a charging system which practically pipes power directly from the cell to the battery. However, the project was pretty much a complete failure. Haha. I don’t have pictures.

Pictures of my projects are here:

I found myself creating a DD Roche F6 driver. I didn’t really intend to, just happened. :~

I’m hoping my board gives clearance for a attiny programing clip. Anyone know what the minimum clearance would be? I don’t actually use those clips myself.

Probably won’t use this DD Roche F6 driver myself. I haven’t got into pure DD myself yet. Also don’t even have an Roche F6 yet.

So what kind of clips do you use? Sounds like you’re sayin’ you want to buy a roach clip… naughty boy… :party:

It’s pretty tight…I know the original build of the BLF SRK the R2 was just a smidge closer than R1 and it interfered with getting the clip on

[Helios1 (Helios-)]

The 7135 Based SRK Driver V1.1 ?
So v1.1 is ok but v1 was a smidge too close?

Clips, a gentleman doesn’t comment publicly on such things. :face_with_monocle:

Would a switch like this work on your build?
http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/GP11MSV1BE/CKN9059TR-ND/1014127

have you found the verticle surface mount switch for your build?
nope…you need a SMD tactile switch (preferably with gull mount for strenght)
Like this

Never mind comfy already found the parts

Oshpark Projects

Put your Oshpark driver projects in this thread and I will organize them here in the op. I would like to put all of the relevant Oshpark projects here as it can take some doing to locate them otherwise but will refrain from snatching them without the approval of their creators. Posting a link here will be considered as tacit approval and I will endeavor to keep this op updated. This thread is for the listing of open sourced DIY projects that are listed on Oshpark not for pirating existing work…

[WarHawk-AVG]

Yes… V1.1 added retaining tabs and moved the resistor over

What is the digikey part # for the Zener diode on the 20 mm Zener Mod Linear Led driver

SOD-323??

I currently have a pads for a Alps SKSC Series switch on my board. Mouser SKSCLAE010 But I don’t want to force people to make a mouser or digikey order just to build my board. H) Shipping is expensive for people not in the usa. I’ve added extra vias to accommodate common switches from ebay. Something like this Tactile Switch, 2 Pins, 3*6*5mm

[WarHawk-AVG]

More versatile that way

Would they just bend the pins to get the right-angle mounting?

That switch looks VERY interesting. Nice tight package for hosts that do not have a lot of wiggle room. Nice find. I might need some to go with the eleventy-seven-billion tactile switches MRsDNF just sent me lol.

[Helios1 (Helios-)]

There are a few right angle switches which are smaller.
I just picked that one because it provides versions with different operating force while still one of the least expensive.

[wight]

Good thinking, that’s a nice option for us picky budget folks.

[scottyhazzard]

I can’t find my link to Matt’s Smart Switch, I guess I lost or deleted my subscription to it. Any updates there?

I have a question for Comfychair, how do you mount your little electronic switch in the tail of a light?

[Tom_E]

Can someone more experienced with the BLF17DD help me, please?

I'm pulling my gray hair out trying to figure out why low voltage mon. is way off on the BLF17DD board I built up. When the cell falls below maybe 4.10v, the firmware starts cranking down output, using the 130 and 120 values as JC uses. So it thinks the battery is much lower than it really is -- pretty much useless. I've double/triple checked the circuit and it match's a Nanjg driver perfectly (diode configured in correct position, R1 and R2 are all good, etc.).

This is a straight FET build, not a zener mod build, just one battery - it's in a Convoy L4 host. This is my 3rd BLF17DD build (pre v2.0 ), and first time I noticed this, though I didn't do much at all in low voltage monitoring testing on the others.

Should this work ok? Maybe a bad chip or something?

[DB_Custom (Dale)]

I’ve got more than a dozen of em running and haven’t encountered that. I don’t tend to run cells down so far as to have the driver shut it down, but I’ve had em down to 3.8V or a bit less with no issues.

Edit: Could one of the voltage monitor resistors have bridged, causing a mis-read? (I’d suspect the 1920)
