Looking for: 17mm, single AA driver with programmable ATtiny. Does one exist?

[RMM]

I got a few of these drivers but haven't had a chance to play with them yet. I'm hoping to be able to piggyback an attiny on them to get some good modes with hopefully little effort or cost! Yes, I know those are often lofty and unrealistic goals...

So, can any one copy and test this one? I have one left. I don’t think they are sold anymore. It uses an Attiny 13.

Programmable AA boost circuit?

Hi guys. I’m trying to upload the pix (not going well on my IPhone). But I have a question. My holy grail is to find a programmable boost circuit for use in many AA lights using some awesome firmware from someone here. I found an old AA circuit from shining beam (sadly defuct). I intend to put it in a zoomie to test. It’s 15mm and uses an Atmel 1014. Tiny 13A (ssu?). Is this likely to be programmable? If so, I’ll send it to Richard or someone to reproduce it because I think they are very rar…

I’m just going to wait patiently for RMM.

I’ve bought several cheap 1-2AA boost drivers

(put aa boost into the search box to find various mentions of such)

I put those into older lights to gift them with 18650 size NiMH batteries (thinning the herd).
None of them are flashaholic-pleasing drivers though.

Maybe I can send mine to Toykeeper or someone else to see if they can do anything with it?

I would love to get something made for everyone.

Any updates here? I am looking to mod my Thorfire TG06 and found this thread…

+1 As this is a pending project for me too.

18650 NiMH batteries? Where do you get them from? That's a pretty cool idea.

They may be 17670.

Richard - They call them 4/3AF's

Circuits on their way to Richard!

Wow. Neat cells. I’ll have to check those out.
