For Sale FlexMod P3 drivers

[rocket689]

Yay! :wave:

I've been looking for flexmods for a looong time. Maybe I'll get enough time to finish my build before SELEM.

My package arrived today. Everything was packaged well and is in perfect condition (as always)

Peace,

My package came today too. They were in perfect condition.

I like the new look of the black soldermask on the boards.

Thanks Jeff!

Got mine today. Excellent work!

I received both of mine a few days ago, but upon testing them only one of them works. The other one has the red led on at all times (and burnt my Nichia A-140 during the first start :cryyy: ).

Is there anyway to get a replacement ? (for the driver not the diode, should have used a test load anyway...)

If you didn't set them with a testload, then that's user error. The flexmods can go up to 4A. If you didn't set current, then it most likely blew the diode enough that the driver thinks there isn't a diode attached. That's what the red led signifies. Sounds like both of your drivers are fine.

ALWAYS USE A TEST LOAD!!

The second FlexMod works fine with another diode whereas the first one doesn't. (Solders verified with a multimeter and same alimentation used.)

I can not see where you have said you first set the current with a dummy load before hooking up your LD, did you do this step ?

I can't set any current with a dummy load or a real diode, the led stays on at all time. (But I didn't have any problem setting the current with the second driver.)

Wait, how could it have blown a 445nm diode if the LED is on all of the time ; even when a diode is attached?

 

[LasPliip]

Ok, let me clarify : I wired the first driver and turned it on with a 445 diode on it, the diode shined really bright (more than it used to at 700mA on another driver) for about 2 seconds before it shut off with the led on (the diode being dead now).

Now whatever I try the driver won't start and the led stays on.

Jeff ---
I received my drivers today -- Well packaged ........
Even the candy cane was in one piece!!!!
Thanks -- HMike

:wtf: candy cane??

You run out of heatshrink to give as bonuses so you throw in christmas leftovers, Jeff?

:crackup:

 

[Flaminpyro]

I figured it was better than the sharp stick I had laying here, You could have poked your eye out with it had I included it :crackup:

Actually the candy was a impact sensor, if it made it there intact your package has absolutely no damage, now if the cane is broken


BTW I have plenty of hs, I forgot, so just ask next time !
