ToyKeeper:
Looks pretty awesome. This looks a whole lot easier to fit into a Cypreus EDC than the BLF17DD I used. I especially like that it’s compatible with retaining rings, since I hate soldering in something I might want to reflash later. And it’s ready for zener and off-time cap and everything!
Any chance of adding a single 7135 chip somewhere, attached to a PWM-capable pin? Giving it “moonlight special” hardware would be icing on the cake. No more need to use tricky fast PWM=0 hacks to make a high-powered light work at low levels, not to mention longer runtime on modes under ~350mA.
Edit: For my purposes, additional 7135 chips wouldn’t matter. I just want the lowest modes to work better without sacrificing the ZOMG WTF BBQ blinding output offered by a FET. One 7135 could handle modes from 0.1 lm up to about 50 lm, and the FET could handle the rest.
Peer pressure begets another driver:
[WIP] 17mm DD+single-7135 driver - single sided & Dual-PWM compatible?
It looks ready to go to me. What are we using for moonlight with a single 7135 these days? I think you posted some good info in RMM’s store thread, but I’ve lost track.
