That's a shame. No battery contact for positive?

It's possible to redesign it that way, you know. You could even stick on some copper foil (apply some insulation first) and connect it to the VIN.
Any plans on selling some?
I wouldn't try that
dude have you read my recent posts - the boards are in production should be ready soon if you would like I will PM you when they are ready :beer:
Why? Sorry if I explained that wrong...
Step 1) cover the bottom of the driver with black/clear insulation tape
Step 2) stick some copper tape on the insulation tape as the positive battery contact
Step 3) connect the copper tape to the voltage input
That should work too, won't it?
Well, Foulmist, then there is a problem if your design requires so much heatsinking =p It's a good design, but it's not optimal, especially for the premium you are charging
The reason I asked if it was one-sided with a PCB + contact on the bottom was to see if I could use it in my builds. My custom heatsinks that I make generally have a 16.4mm area bored out for a driver to attach directly to the heatsink =p

I don't think there will be a design this small that will not be required to be heatsinked at 2A of current.
When I put it in my host attached to the pill it can stay on for over 5 minutes at almost 2A without getting hot I so think it's ok.
If you can make a non heating driver at those currents - congrats
