Hi all.
After checking out, I still can't completely get my head around the wiring methods for the flexdrive vs the microboost.
I totally understand the microboost method where you can use the case pin wired to the driver -ve input to feed current into the driver from the diode case via the host body, it makes sense, but I don't understand the "continuous" -ve input and output design of the flexdrive, and why it requires a different wiring style, or what advantages/disadvantages it offers.
I always get lost when reading that if you use a 405/445 diode with a flexdrive, then you can just attach the diode case pin to the diode -ve pin, and solder both to the driver negative output connection.
Is the safest (for the diode), most reliable way to wire a 405/445 to a flexdrive to use the same technique as for microboosts? By which I mean soldering an isolated wire from the diode case pin to the driver -ve input, and soldering both the +ve and -ve diode pins to their corresponding driver +ve and -ve diode connections?
Ultimately, if I understood what the continuous part of the flexdrive meant, I'd likely understand the difference between the two main wiring styles, I think.
Any help appreciated, of course.
Thanks.
