    Alright, we need details on these drivers. I love to hear about your projects.

      The small one dubbed BST15 is a 15mm component clearance/17mm total diameter boost driver, rated for ~40W (6A~6.5V, 3A~13V), with HDR (low moonlight), it’s compatible with e-switch (Anduril) and Mike_C’s OTSM implementation for clicky switch, I made it (with his blessings) so that it is easier to build than his version and added reverse polarity protection , my first version had some issues at high current, at the time I didn’t do too much troubleshooting and left it aside, recently I made an updated version, which is the one I just assembled and it works well. The next step is assembling a couple more to send to Mike so that he can finish his firmware, then I’ll share the PCB/BOM for people to assemble it themsleves.

      The big one is also a boost driver, 1S input, I’ll post more detail once I have finished testing it, I did some partial efficiency test already but I don’t have a power source powerfull enough to test it at max current 😅.
      It’s for a rather popular light so it shouldn’t be too hard guess which.

        We need to get batches of your drivers produced. I don’t have the patience or skill to reflow them myself. 😀

    Are those large cubes on the driver’s indicative of either boost or buck function?

    Do you use Eagle to design the PCBs?

    If so, is it the Free Version?

    If not, What software do you use?
