Microboost pushed to 1.2A
Microboost is a valuable option to replace flexdrive, it was actually dezigned to power high voltage diodes like 405 and 445nm (correct me if i'm wrong). If you want to finish your build soon get microboost and push to max, otherwise wait when flexdrive becomes available. As simple as that.
Consider yourself corrected.
The Microboost was designed to run the higher power Blurays, (mainly 10x, 12x), as these started to require a higher output voltage than the 5.5V the Flexdrive could supply. Some of these BRs are going to the 7V area. Therefore the Microboost came about before the 445 diodes were even known about. The Flexdrive is fine for any 445nm diode as the forward voltage even at high power is only around 4.2V. The only limit is the current! At present we don't have a, "Just For 445nm", driver. I'm a looking forward to when we have one though!!!!
