Thank you all. I did order one from Flaminpyro. X-drive v7 mini. Very awesome little driver.

Oh nice I get it. I just put some teflon tape on my lens threads and I must say it is much better. Thanks. I would +rep you again but can't.:crackup:

Teflon tape makes awesome sense. How would you use an external spring?

How many of you keep the spring in? Why or why not?

Thank you kind sir!

Thanks DTR! That's exactly what I've done. I got the X-drive v7 and I read that it's not continuous ground. However when I ran a multimeter in continuity mode from the X-drive output ground to the input ground it beeped. To me that would be continuous ground but maybe I'm wrong? +Rep to you!

What are the different ranges mean on the X-Drives? I see it says bridge here for range 2. What does that mean?

Thanks. I am using two Efest red batteries. 800 mAh each. Maybe I have an M130 then because I've always driven it at 1.7 amps and never had an issue. :confused: I thought the X-drive v7 could accept input of 2.5 volts? I figured one 18650 would be sufficient but apparently not. I don't get it?

I got it!!!!! I soldered a wire from case pin to the negative of driver. Works great, however the power kind of sucks. I got the 1.7 amp x-drive mini v7. I am using a single 18650 battery. Is this why? Should I use 2 18350's?

I just used a multimeter in continuity mode and checked the output ground of driver to input ground of driver and it beeped. So couldn't I just bridge the case pin of diode with negative pin?

I do not believe it is continuous ground. I have an X-Drive V7 mini.

A140 445nm. Could I just solder the case pin on the diode to the negative lead on the diode? like bridge them together? Then I just connect the positive wire only to my driver and it should work yeah?

The host is indeed case negative. But my driver is already soldered to the diode. What am I supposed to do solder a wire to the host itself?

Well I just received my host from Ehgemus. Which by the way is really beautiful. He does awesome work. I have the driver and diode in the module. On this host there is a single red wire coming up through the top which is where I connect the driver positive. So here is the noob part I am unsure...

Actually the name white fusion kit sounds very familiar. Jayrob maybe??

Okay so I can pretty much conclude that powering an Lm317 with a single 18650 battery is not going to happen. Is there another chip that can do this? I would think though I would also need a mosfet of some sort. I have tried searching schematics but haven't really found what I am looking for...

This may seem odd to some but I will ask anyways. I am trying to power my driver with a single 18650 battery. I am currently using a 12 volt 2 amp wall adapter. I know the required voltage of the LM317 but what about using a TIP31 power transistor? I used to power LED strip lights off a single...

Awesome thank you!

Okay so in between the LM317 input pin and the battery or power source?
