Oopsie - k, wondering.... Thanx Scott
I am with Tobrien,
You first have to make things straight...!
Your trustability and reliability is at stake here.
thanks man 
Not sure what it would take for me to become a member of a forum for the sole purpose of trashing someone’s reputation but I hope my price would be more than $30. No one here can know the truth of this so there’s hardly any point in choosing sides. I can appreciate both arguments but I wish tobrien could have found something else around here of interest to discuss in the past year.
My apologies if I was unclear. I’m not choosing sides at all, certainly not based on post count. If CK owes then he should pay. If he does not owe then he has been slandered. I do find it somewhat “ridiculous” to join a forum and post in only one thread and then return to that thread after a year to post the same gripe. Only CK really knows how his honor compares to his reputation and it’s not my place to judge.
Agreed, he has been very straight forward with me.
Understood. He does, however, owe me and people on a few other forums (I know of one, but apparently there are others on other forums is what I’m told). What I’m concerned about is what I am owed.
Whether or not I posted it already or not, I want to make absolutely clear that I’m not aiming to discredit his forum reputation here. What is odd to me, however, is how he is posting what he’s bought and plans to buy (i.e., his “largest digikey order ever”), yet has not acknowledged my PM to him. He, seemingly enough, abandons a thread when he’s called on this issue.
I also want to say I truly appreciate the feedback I’ve gotten from BLF members about this situation, both in private and what has been posted. I’m not asking or demanding anyone takes sides, rest assured.
I sent c_k my PayPal address and, as of this writing, I have yet to be reimbursed (the PM was sent Sunday evening).
I hope this can be solved soon. For all people.
All of this!
Updated the first post.
After talking with Matt, Everett and Brian (WarHawk) about driver options the plans are finalized and the rest of the parts for these ordered. The drivers will be linear FET drivers (not direct drive) and are even smaller than the Tiny 10 /10dd’s! They’re called “”Tiniest10”:https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/TAoalgqb’s” and are single sided drivers with a + battery contact on the bottom for direct install. They run a 6-pin PIC uC which Everett will be providing for me with a simple 3-mode off-time based UI (L->H with no memory)
I’ll be limiting max current to somewhere between 500-800mA (so they should make between 250-350Lm OTF), I’d love to drive these to the max but I’m hoping they will be usable as an EDC, not just a little hand warmer so current in the tiny stainless steel light has to be severely limited.
Calvin sent a selection of XP-L’s, 3 or 4 tint bins I believe, and it was decided the engraving needed to be all in one location so it reads “BLF OSHPark”
Nifty! Is the code shared as well as the board?
Here’s Djozz’s package ready to be packed up and sent tomorrow. It’s got 3 old style BLF17 boards, 2 each old style 10 and 15dd boards, 2 XM-L2’s and XP-E2’s he bought added on my last digikey order not sure the bin’s/tint’s but I know they’re warm (euro digikey has $25 minimum shipping fee’s) and 2 more XM-L2 S6 7D3 warm 90+CRI I have a bunch of (the individual ones). Also has 5 sets of 105c parts, 5 IRLM 2505 FET’s (for the 10 and 15dd’s), 5 off-time cap’s, some stickers, an XML-RGBW sinkPAD and 5 programmed 13A’s flashed to his spec’s (3 mode with a star to add moonlight, off-time no memory L-H, no turbo timer).
Jos, this stuff will be in route to you tomorrow, I’m not sure the tracking situation / expected transit time but please definitely post when you’ve received it. Thanks for everything you do for all of us here at BLF!
The code for the PIC was in Everett's PIC guide. I'm not sure if it's still open source though...I'd check with Everett first.
The link for the board is in his post…it’s teeny tiny and single sided!!!
It’s not ATtiny, it is the PIC code so if wont compile in AVR Studio, besides we don’t have the hardware to flash the PIC
Here is a 3D render of the board Teeny teeny tiny
Excuses, excuses. I would hardly expect any of that to slow you for very long. So if the boards are available, how does one acquire the programmed pic? Which thread?
This one?
Hehe you got me…I am still trying to get good at the ATtiny, I would like to get into the PIC stuff but it is even MORE Greek to me than the code for the Amtel 
Amtel does make a small 6 pin version like the PIC called the ATtiny10
The ATtiny10 and PIC are pin compatible I think. I know VIN and GND definitely are. You just have to check and see if the pin used for PWM is. The only thing the PIC has over the ATtiny10 is that you can do low voltage protection internally with the PIC. The Attiny will require externals components and may not have enough pin space.
Also, in regards to the tiniest 10 - it could be ghetto'd into being direct drive by removing the transistor and soldering a few bridges here and there.

I like the idea to find two members who do something for the forum and throw another one in the game: DrJones.
Tido and he started in my opinion the driver programming for dummies. Without their work and firmwares a lot of us don't have clue about these things. DrJones offers a few famous firmwares, which are used or modified from others to get a great firmware. This are the reasons why I suggest DrJones.
If it’s open-source, I’d love to get a copy and include it. Then again, I may have already done so if it’s the code I think it is.
~toykeeper/flashlight-firmware/trunk : files for revision 250 (see “tterev3/pic10f322-examples/clicky-switch.c”)
In any case these should be slick little pieces. Dr Jones is a good candidate, he helped steer me in the right direction when I was doing my own high voltage mod. So did Texaspyro and Pilotptk for that matter.
