Hello all ,well I think I finally got my first simple mod under my belt on my ultrafire C8 I replaced the old Xml-u3 emitter and aluminum sink pad.with a XML2-U21A already mounted on a 20mm noctigon copper pad and removed the old 17mm driver with a new 17 mm 8 ,7135chipped 3.04 amp driver my question which star do I solder so 8 can get the strobe and SOS mode?
Hello,
if this is the driver you are using http://intl-outdoor.com/qlite-reva-71358-multiple-modes-circuit-board-304a-p-710.html then solder the second star for
5% - 30% - 100% - Strobe - Beacon.
The hardware part, same for all Nanjg 105C boards, can be flashed with a multitude of different firmwares, and it's the firmware that determines which stars do what (and if it even uses the stars at all). So, first, you need to know exactly which driver you have and where it came from.
thanks koyotee okay this may sound even dumber is 2nd star from right to left? Thanks Koyotee and comfy chair.
No, left to right. #1 at the far left is a dummy, it connects to nothing.
If you have a standard, non-customized firmware 105C like this or this or this, then the stars are:
default/no stars: 5/30/100/strobe/SOS
star2: 5/100/strobe
star3: 5/30/100
star4: 5/100
The original Qlite and the Qlite Rev. A have different groups assigned to the stars.
LJ, did you get my message?
My satellite service has been sketchy due to storm.
EDIT:I did solder the second star to pill and I still only have 3 modes?it is BRIGHT!! no smoke no black spot iam happy I got this far I would really lime the blinky modes though.
LJ, I'm still not sure which exact driver you have. Where and when did you get it?
The only 105C I know of that has 3 modes with no stars soldered and still has the same 3 modes with #2 soldered, is this one, which doesn't use the stars at all. Switch to low mode, wait for ~5 seconds, watch for a blink.
LJ, we can’t help you until we know which driver you got. You told me it was from IOS, 8 chips, 7135, 5-mode but you’re only getting L-M-H by default. Looks like it might be this one. If so, 2nd star would do it.
Yes it is the one you linked to,I did solder the second star to the pill iam sorry for the confusion and late response my internet /satellite service is R-E-A-L S-L-O-W because oc weather.
Cool, maybe check for continuity between 2nd star and ground?
A try I really like the improvement the driver and emitter swap made ,not to go go car oc OP but have you checked lux readings?I have got rough readings from uncalibrated meter(smart phone app) if so what readings did you get over a stock XML2-U2?
