First prototype of Generation 3 working

all 3 on a 1kOhms bleeder
First a big voltage jump you see

- generation one changes brightness with voltage

Generation 3 gets in LVP shutting down completely (The switch point needs likely to set a bit lower)

Nice, does this mean you’re ready to sell a complete tail light switch?

Nichia · 2018-08-04T20:26:49.000Z

Awesome work!

what are the lights this will work with?

will it fit 6p, malkoff, boss...etc?

GEN 1, 2 are ready to build and sell
as usual custom color combinations possible, like rainbow up to 8 different colors

GEN 3 atm only with 6+1 colors,
17+20mm mm one channel no trimmers
on the 20mm with trimmers in 2 different groups

I have made one with 8+1 with cut out boards for easier production 20mm will be mouse bites
but this will take about 10-12 days to get the boards delivered

of course the further the development goes the more it will cost (parts, labor and development time)

Nice! looking to get my hands on some generation 3 boards.

Electrically should work with any driver that’s not effected by adding a 1kohm bleeder.
Should fit in 6P and 6P clones tailcaps, can’t install in malkoff MD or boss tailcaps as the switch is inserted from the top.

can replace basically all switch assemblies that use a washer on top of the switch to press the switch boot against the tail hole

adjusted the prices as building those took more time than thought
time to assemble those is more than on drivers, trimmer price reduced

Lexel, can you explain how these pcb wire up?

Also, does it effect the driver circuitry in any way?

Lexel · 2018-09-23T05:30:17.000Z

is wired in parallel to the tail switch
and a 1kOhm bleeder on the driver

not all drivers like bleeder resistors

Okay, that’s what I was thinking.

We are talking about them on the Convoy L6 thread here if you want to see.

Do you know what drivers need the resistor and which don’t?

Do your L6 FET drivers need the bleeder resistor?

Most 2S drivers LDOs act as bleeder

How about a gen 3.1 idea?
3 + 3 (or 4 + 4) LEDs would be placed alternately. 3 blue for “normal operating” light, 3 red for low voltage indication. The red LEDs would be blinking type like this.
So if the battery voltage is low then the signal will be conspicouos.

Lexel · 2018-10-23T14:02:53.000Z

if i would find time to update

gen 3.1 is already produced and here
it is 8+3

but atm i can barely spend any time to flashlight most gets eaten up by mails and PMs I am even behind like 2-3 weeks on old orders

Gen3 20mm with trimmer
2x4+3
inner LEDs in 2 groups star pattern with 2 trimmers, mainly for 2 different colors
outer Low battery fixed brightness

Do you use 10k or 100K trimmers?

I just bought some 100K 3x3x2 to try out on some of my lighted switch mods. It should definitely beat having to constantly swap resistors to find that sweet spot between brightness and current consumption.

Edit, looks like you use 20K. I wasn’t sure if that would be enough.

I got different values from 2-50k

Will the R7 - R12 resistor hit the shelf? I look at some common flashlight and the LED may hit the shelf for those. Can it be put somewhere like the back? I guess the back need to have space for the top of the switch though..

on the flashlights the switch boot will touch them, but thats not a problem as its soft
