Thanks DTR! That's exactly what I've done. I got the X-drive v7 and I read that it's not continuous ground. However when I ran a multimeter in continuity mode from the X-drive output ground to the input ground it beeped. To me that would be continuous ground but maybe I'm wrong? +Rep to you!
Thanks. I am using two Efest red batteries. 800 mAh each. Maybe I have an M130 then because I've always driven it at 1.7 amps and never had an issue. :confused: I thought the X-drive v7 could accept input of 2.5 volts? I figured one 18650 would be sufficient but apparently not. I don't get it?
I got it!!!!! I soldered a wire from case pin to the negative of driver. Works great, however the power kind of sucks. I got the 1.7 amp x-drive mini v7. I am using a single 18650 battery. Is this why? Should I use 2 18350's?
I just used a multimeter in continuity mode and checked the output ground of driver to input ground of driver and it beeped. So couldn't I just bridge the case pin of diode with negative pin?
A140 445nm. Could I just solder the case pin on the diode to the negative lead on the diode? like bridge them together? Then I just connect the positive wire only to my driver and it should work yeah?
Well I just received my host from Ehgemus. Which by the way is really beautiful. He does awesome work. I have the driver and diode in the module. On this host there is a single red wire coming up through the top which is where I connect the driver positive. So here is the noob part I am unsure...
