:shrug:Ok. I am new to this whole thing. Can anyone help with a little information? I have spent some time searching threads but the info is a bit confusing.
1) When building an XR can LE do you HAVE to reflow solder the driver (GD variety)to the bottom lip of the XR can , or can you just AA it down? Does it need to be conductive with the XR can (solder) to work? or can you just glue it down?
2) I have read that only the Downboy converter has to be grounded using the VIN and a notch cut into the can with a wire leading fron the coverter to the can ? so the GD doesnt need this? If you can AA glue the coverter to the XR can does it then need to be grounded as opposed to soldering and no Vin ground needed?
3)do you need to apply a sodler blob to the outside of the GD to make contact with the battery?
4)also , does the PCB the led is attached to (MCPCB650?) have to be soldered tothe top of the XR can on that lip? or can that also be glued?
I have limited skills but was going to put together a LE to use in an Aleph empty head/body and figured it should be easy enough to do myself. Any help is greatly appreciated before I take the plunge.
