Re: Lava Micro FlexDrive Driver (lavadrive2) fits
i tested a lavadrive yesterday. and wow, it survived my highly abusive handling:
-i used alligator clips, so i had the output unconnected by high chance
-i connected the battery to the diode-output, d'oh! i was so sure the zener diode would be on the input-side..
-i used it almost-shorted, having only my multimeter connected to measure current, for perhaps 10 secs a few times
-in all that testing i dialed the pot randomly, trying to figure it out
well, there was no current flowing into the diode-pins at all. nothing got hot. nothing broke. it simply works as expected, once i hooked it up properly, with soldered wires. i was sure i killed it, and would have deserved.. ;-)
i hope drlava still sells these to me, knowing how i treated one of those gems? i promise better care, normally i am quite good at electronics.. well, i'll simply read the manual before testing, d'oh!
so, again, these drivers are freaking great!

Re: Lava Micro FlexDrive Driver (lavadrive2) fits
Is it normal to have the laser blink on and off really fast when the batteries go dead? (I put freshly recharged 3XAAA batteries and it stops doing this).

I hope this wasn't already covered, I tried a few searches but could find nothing relevant.

Re: Lava Micro FlexDrive Driver (lavadrive2) fits
That's more-or-less normal for low batteries in boosting mode. Probably the internal boost current limiting kicking in.

Re: Lava Micro FlexDrive Driver (lavadrive2) fits
Is the FlexDrive positive regulated or works both ways positive or negative?
Will the driver works with case positive LD like the 808nm in a Kryton barrel?
