Dorcy Jr and Flexdrive

[Nass]

i just fiished my build.. noticed i had the wrong darkhorse heatsink but just did some extra wiren and all works... have my FD set to 105mV and works like a charm.. if u have any questions just post em

Actually no, its a 12x blu ray build. What battery configuration would i need to power it at 412 ma? (dont care that much about battery life) BTW Nass has an awesome avatar!!!!!!!!!!!

With a BR-build, it will not be the battery that is the problem. As the current increases, so does the voltage that the diode needs to run at that amp-setting. The Flex-Drive can only boost to just under 6V, so I am thinking most have found the FD to be good for about 360mA @5.8V. Your limitation will be your driver, not the battery.

Ahhh, now i see, i was a little confuesed on that. So where could i get a driver that would be able to power this beast at 412?

you might want to look at possibly building your own.. search the forums out im sure your not the only one who has run across this problem.. im not too smart like some of these other members here so sorry for not helping out to much..

Oh, its fine, i have searched around and it looks like there really hasn't been much done with this diode yet, so I think Ill just wait for this diode to get around a little more, better tested and fully understood, before i complete this build.Looks like Ill have a flexdrive for sale though...
