Not to be a downer, but how is this any different than a flexdrive?...

The driver can deliver higher current than the flexdrive. The flexdrive max out at 1.5A and these drivers can handle 1.8A current.
I don't know if Foulmist has figured out pricing on these, but I'm sure it's going to be less than a flexdrive. Even if it was just the same price, you'd basically be saving 50%.
rhd, what's the flexdrv current pricing? boards will arrive next week so I can start soldering :san:
The LM3410 handles up to 2.8A, but it would need superior board design and a huge heatsink at that current.
it can handle 2A as well ...

I was't saying 1.8A was the max. I am sure they go higher with good heatsinking. For practical use 1.8A is pretty much the upper limit of a 445nm diode.
I hope you can put the price down to $20 because the DIY boost driver cost only $10 and need only two to get the same currant output.
I am building the boards on my own.. I just need to find the IC's at better price... I will make some searching this weekend for a better price. If not I might ask someone to buy them for me and send them here, if it turns out cheaper.
EDIT: mouser would charge me $40 for shipping damn..
I could buy them from farnel for $6.8(without VAT) $8.16 (with VAT) but I have to take 100 pieces. otherwise I end up with the higher price... and I can't take 100 pieces right now. I will have to sell some first in order to make more cuz I don't have that kind of money.
stay tuned!
I'm the wrong person to ask about that, I never buy them.
But I think they're in the $25 to $30 range?
