Matt, I've been waiting to see that thing in action!

That’s one of the SRK drivers with all the parts visable from the lens?

It's a 'Medusa' replacement PCB for SRK lights. Fully integrated LED and driver. It was done more for shits 'n' giggles (will look 'mad wicked') than anything else but if it works then sweeeeet. Has a direct driven quad array with medium optic (hence why I asked for that quad optic), a single direct driven (albeit lower current) XP-E2 through an optic for throw (or whatever optic is chosen), and a single reflector with RGB XQ emitters for color mixing. If I ever revise the design I'll replace the direct driven XPE2 with an AMC7135 and a UV emitter probably.

I won't be able to fire it up until I get my MCU from tterev3 (on it's way) or my 4 nichia emitters...which I just realized I haven't ordered yet. Sh*t. I have everything else already so I'll start work on the host and beefing up the heat sink this weekend.

Are your middle names mad professor by any chance?

Oh sweet JEBUS that is nice!

been watching matt’s videos the last 2 days and I’ve got this, this is a 3ch RGB 22mm driver, it’s far from being ready to order, I just wanted to see it in purple.

One important aspect of this driver was for it to allow any of the connections from either side, thats whats with all the via’s.

This will be driving red, blue and green SST-90’s in a light I’m building (Yes I know what they cost [$44/ea], go big or go home right!).

Bazing man!

Getting better all the time…pretty sweet board!

I know you've said its far from finished but my 2c:

1) pretty great layout as is, and it's nice to see you have followed my advice (maybe even intentionally lol) if using nice angled/rounded bends in traces. Not right angles in sight!

2) I'd finish the layout and then beef up as much as possible every trace you possibly can. Not crtical but I've found on very rare occasions that OHSPark can give dud traces if they are too thin.

3) Label everything. Components, wire points etc.

Other than that its a pretty darn good first attempt!!

Standing on the shoulders of giants :wink:

Redo #1. You’s guy’s you should be proud I setup the LED leads on opposite sides of the board completely unintentionally.

After I submit the zip folder to oshpark and it gives me the first front and back render and I hit continue, where it takes you to the approval page with a different view of every file layer, is there any way to get back to that view later? Or is there a way to view the individual gerber files layer at a time?

no…that is a one shot deal before it adds it to your projects tab

You can view the layers online though

This one generates a pretty cool little 3D view of your build (not in OSHPark colors though)

And there is gerbv for windows

Still missing too many parts to fire it up, but it's partially assembled to give you an idea of how it looks with and without optics, and in and out of the host. Most of the work is going to be creating a spacer block on top of the old LED board to help them new emitter PCB sit tight against the lens. Not too difficult, but important for heat sinking purposes as well.

If the back side is raw copper pour would you be able to possibly solder the entire thing to a 50mm copper round from etsy?

That is just too damn cool!

That could work, though I'm not sure how thick those rounds are?

20ga or .953 mm

I bought a stack of em…about 1/2 as thick as a standard SRK aluminum star, not that thick but thicker than the microscopically thin copper pour that is on the PCB

Too damn cool indeed! Both Mataus build and Cereal Killers board!

I keep watching in awe!

Is it correct that at the moment no BLF20DD is available at Oshpark? (the link in the OP does not go anywhere anymore).

I would have liked to order one (=3) for a UF LZZ15 mod in the planning.
