'''Programmable Drivers''' Some drivers, like the AK-47 and the 101-AK have an Atmel Tiny13 chip on board. It is possible to reprogram this chip to get not only exactly the number of modes and the light levels you want, but also to program it to be programmable. More information here at [[AVR | '''Programmable Drivers''' Some drivers, like the AK-47 and the 101-AK have an Atmel Tiny13 chip on board. It is possible to reprogram this chip to get not only exactly the number of modes and the light levels you want, but also to program it to be programmable. More information here at [[AVR Drivers]]. So far I had some success in uploading a program, but the clip broke before I could customize anything and the program I uploaded gives a low battery warning all the time and won't stay bright. '''Perfect UI:''' Eventually I'd like to develop a programmable UI where one mode would be 100% brightness and the other would be programmable. Maybe you could flash the light five times, maybe it would blink twice to indicate you are in programming mode. Then it would start a sequence of brightness levels, holding each one for a second or two (not true ramping; I think discrete output levels are better). When you get to the level you like, you just turn the light off and that level will be memorized (alternatively, you could maybe cycle through the modes by pressing the button which might be faster, though then you would have to leave the light on in the mode you want for the memory to set and the light would blink twice to say it is memorized). The available modes would include a very low moonlight mode, a map-reading low, an outdoor low, a couple of mediums, as well as some blinking, SOS, strobes, etc. The UI would have memory that would set after about 1 second on. | ||
'''<U>KD 13.5mm Driver</U>''' No details to speak of, but this 5-mode driver could be useful in fixing AA lights with burned out drivers where standard 17mm drivers are too big [http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=11063&AffiliateId=1890 KD] | '''<U>KD 13.5mm Driver</U>''' No details to speak of, but this 5-mode driver could be useful in fixing AA lights with burned out drivers where standard 17mm drivers are too big [http://www.kaidomain.com/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductID=11063&AffiliateId=1890 KD] | ||
