Isnt it the same thing with different drivers?

Yes & no as every driver is different & there are different IC's and different hot components ;)

But they should all be attached to the pill one way or another that way the heat can get out
 
Will you sell them yourself? I have an issue with a set current of 450mA and the fact that it is almost 9 bucks more expensive...

I am not selling these in single units anymore, that's the best deal you will get right now, the 12$ price I had was a bulk price & every time someone ordered they would have to wait for it to fill up, Those were the days when no one stocked the drivers, now people stock them & I can't go making 1 or 2 every time someone orders, it takes as much time to make 1 as it does to make 10 so it's Honeslty a waste of my time to go making 1 so many times... I did that & those who got them are lucky.

Sorry it's the best deal ATM... And they are set specifically for the 12x diodes.
It's actually the same deal, look I charge 5$ shipping to the US & that would make it 17$, it's practically identical of a deal. ;)

A version with a POT is being worked on

Yep not $9 difference. My site has free shipping for US which applies to you. So you are looking at $17 for the unit from him with a long wait almost group buy style and then wait for the item to ship internationally where on my site it is $20 and you can have it in 2-3 days.:)

What makes this any better than a BenBoost?
Click to expand...

It's different in a few ways...
Main thing is I've gotten it stable enough by far to run a 12x or single mode osram... It's not some morphed version of a BenBoost either... It's completely my own & I started it before they posted the thread I believe...
http://laserpointerforums.com/f67/atma-boostdriver-72291.html
There was my first thread...
I tested it very well to ensure minimal problems, EVERY diode that can be used with it has been tested...

PHR805/03
6x 405
12x 405
M140
Osram pl450b


I only haven't tested the 9mm diodes... But people would not likely run those at 1.15Amps with this driver, they would opt for something like lazeerer's x boost capable of 2.5Amps in boost...
It is also greatly smaller & slightly more efficient... If you have any questions id rather it be in PM's please :thanks:

Nothing against you, Anthony, but all questions regarding the capabilities, prices, etc. can and should be discussed in open forum. After all, you are selling a product and people have the right to see any discussion regarding the product.

Maybe I missed it, but do you have data showing efficiency? I'd be interested in seeing what kind of efficiency you get with it. Also, what's the feedback voltage on the main IC, if you're comfortable sharing that information?

Yes I agree... People should know, if you read through this thread you will see everything I have posted.. I meant PM's for technical questions as it seemed you were leading to those types of questions...

I will go & post the datasheet I have... All information regarding this driver is in there...

I have tested 85% efficiency back when i tested this version, it was early june though. I had sent free drivers to multiple people to test out & give me feedback... all of which pointed to it being good, DTR himself put one on a 12x & it did not die... I sent one to tsteele to get scoped but he fried it with his iron which is ok as we all make mistakes... now i have one going to foulmist to scope... I myself put it on an osram & set it @ 270mA and it did not die, i later changed it for a 200mA as i wanted a longer life out of that diode...

attached is the manual / data sheet... i must update it although as i left a few things out & after further testing lowered the max output current.

its attached to the last reply :p

BTW its slightly out of date... i am making a more up to date one right now
