Got your covered Glenn, thanks!


I only wish I had them on hand... My order has shipped about 5 days ago, so I expect them any day now.

Normally I would have your order shipped in a day or two max. But I'm backed up waiting on my DX order.

I ordered extra though. Because of this new 445 diode. I have a total of 10 hosts coming on this first order, but 8 of them are already spoken for.

So I have two more orders of 10 each ordered. For a total of 30. So hopefully they will get them shipped!


Those of you waiting, please be assured that I will take good care of you as soon as I get my stock...

Update:

Got my first order of 10 hosts today and will begin shipping out outstanding orders tomorrow...

So far, I have 3 of these first 10 that are still available...

No, because the person I'm shipping to is also getting other items that I'm waiting on... Should be shipping in a few days though...

Yeah... I have 3 or 4 orders in front of you, but then I realized that a couple of them are waiting on other parts/hosts, etc...

So you got 'bumped up'...

Hope you like it!

Mine came today... it works GREAT!
A couple questions though, guys...
first, how did you make positive contact with the battery? I simply yanked all the parts off the SMD board and found where there was no resistance to Vcc, and soldered a wire there. To make negative contact I still use the driver circuit board and pressure from the battery holds a glob of solder against the side of the light. I'm not sure how I was supposed to do it...
second, do I turn the pot on a microboost clockwise or counterclockwise to increase current? Thanks!

Hmmm... sounds like you maybe should have got the 'Hot' option! :)

The path to the host (negative) is through the brass ring, which is in contact with the pill. (bare metal threads to the host)

Couple of things about the Micro BoostDrive...

* Like a FlexDrive, do not power the driver without a load
* It is a single turn pot that can be damaged if turned too far in either direction. Yes, clockwise is turning it up within the range it is set for...

I probably should have gotten the hot option LOL, but hey it's working!

Did my first 445 build ultra conservative at 450mA with this host; now doing a 405 8x build with this host. After that's done, Jay, I *will* be back for one for a ~850-900mA 445. So let us know what those results are. I have the diodes coming, so.. am going to need to get the hosts :)
