>> Homemade Gxb172 led driver (complete!)

Thanks for this thread, I had been on Loneocean’s site and the gerber files dont seem to be there nor the firmware, etc only the schematic.
Ive found a github link for the firmware, but still reading up on whats required for the build.
Are all the modes set by jumpers? You dont need to modify the code to set your custom brightness levels?

Im up for the challenge to build one, ive done SMD work before, but I will get a bunch of boards made from JLCPCB, they also offer an SMD assembly service, so if thats cheap enough, I may as well just get them to make me a bunch of boards.

Loneoceans also is the same person who designed the universal driver 2.7 revision for a DRSSTC, (musical tesla coil) I have built one using his driver board and it is of excellent design.
Thanks Loneoceans if you are reading this

This is Loneoceans thread for the GXB172. [ GXB172 - 50W Single Cell 17mm Boost Driver! ]
The mode groups can be changed by 2 jumpers X1 and X2. Their description of the settable mode groups is on Loneoceans GXB172 page on his site.
Its about 3/4 the way down the page. Any of the modes can be changed in firmware by adjust the value anywhere from 8 to 1024 I believe. Seems like it couldn’t go any lower than 8. You’ll have to experiment with the low setting.
