I have tested much drivers, but none is like i want it (3-mode without strobe and really 3000-3500mA, indifferent which 18650 used....not one 3,2A, other 4,3A)
Now i want build my own driver, based on the NANJG 105 and a "addon"...2 extra 7135.
I´m no electronics engineer and wan´t to ask, if this is wired ok:
Isn't it easier If you just unsolder the two AMCs on the left side board (heat the board from underneath and grab them with some twizers) and set them on top of any two of the AMCs on the right side board? It saves a lot of space that way. The second board might be to large to put it inside the pill. Take care to wire the LED with quite thick leads, to make sure these 3,5 amps will go through.
I don't even bother. I get the 8X 7135, part out a 4X 7135 driver, take the chips off it, and piggyback them onto the chips on the 8X board. No wiring hassle, have done several and they all work fine.
Have done up to 12 chips-four piggybacked on one side of the 8X board.
I put a big blob of solder on all 3 pins at once. As SOON as it melts, I grab it off with tweezers. I use high, fast heat as opposed to lower. Low heat does more damage, waiting for the damned solder to melt. (I'm mil-spec certified for soldering and my training discouraged too-low heat)
Current depends on how many more you add. If I do all 4, I'll get the full 4.2A from a triple XPG. I have one XM-L that'll pull 4A thru this setup also. I don't give a damn if it's overdriven...by the time the LED fails I'd be in the ground anyway! <g>
Look at the pic and check your work, keep us posted!
I like the pic and it helps a bunch but is that the side they have to go on? It looks like it would interfere with the battery and would make more sense to have them on the other side.
I've not checked...but I assume the 7135's are all contected in parallel. So you would be able to add 1-8 additional 7135's to that board with them attached to any/all of the preassembeled ones
