I'm glad your enjoying it! I just assembled a driver for the MT07. I already have it working in the MT03, seem to have worked out all the kinks in the MT03, so maybe I can spend some time on the MT07 this evening .
I got 3 Haikelites now: MT07, MT03, and SCO1, and all three all built like tanks! I got the big zoomie on the way, maybe another week. They are kind of a throw back - big and chunky!
Even for me, last they replied was it's gonna get ship tomorrow, but tomorrow came and went, didn't get any confirmation, though they didn't say they would confirm.
It is the stock driver, only resistor mod for the increase current. if you have the same MT07 then your setup too is 2s2p for 8.2v, 4s would be 16.8v which unlikely will work with this driver.
wah, I am needing one of those drivers now
I too didn’t hear back from haikelight after I have PayPal for the SMO reflector, hopefully it will just show up soon.
4x 100m? Are those sense resistors 0.100 ohm? That’s like 0.025 ohm. What were the factory resistors?
It’s possible you may have the driver in direct drive mode. I don’t know enough about the stock driver to say for sure, but maybe someone could enlighten me?
All aftermarket drivers use one button. You only see 2 button support with factory drivers. You could wire it so both buttons do the same thing if you want.
+1 - plan is to wire the switches so they both do the same thing. I have a couple lights with double switches, but we don't have enough I/O pins to handle them both independently. We really need to go to the more advanced Atmel parts with tons of I/O pins, then we could do full triple channels, multiple indicator LED's, multiple switches, etc. The 85 has 5 I/O pins, but ideally we need a min of 9 I/O pins:
factory res are 52||86, i must have calc for 5x .100 ohm but only used 4x .100.
i went to stack 6x .100 but didnt measure a big jump in current but only 60mA more so i think you are correct about it being in direct drive mode.
I am not sure of how much more lumen or more distance… and IT IS NOT SAFE PUSHING THE LIMITS.
I could be wrong but I see it as a FET driver now, the led+ connects to batt+, the led- connects to the FET, the FET then (through sense r) connects to batt-. The inductor circuit has no load (likely removable) the processor still controls the FET for all modes.
later on I would like a FET driver with Narsil ramping output, and reconfigure this driver back to boost.
Nice job, turning a boost driver into a FETDD driver I never read or heard of it done before!
If it’s a 70.2 your alright current wise, safety wise the FET will probably blow, if you don’t de-solder the positive lead and ground out! The LED can take up to 20+ amps, in my modded SD75 2S2P so far, no problem, but I have turned them instantly blue at 22-23 amps.
