correct way to wire tripple p7?

[smokeychris]

Hi, is this the correct way to wire a tripple p7 with der wichtels driver? I want to ask this just to make sure i got it right.

Second i got my momentary switch working by simply cutting of some ridges inside the switch. It works fine when my light was completely stock. But now i have to solder some wires in but i am not realy sure how its done. Fivemegas 12 aa to 4d batteryholder is my source of power but i was sticking to this guide: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=212470. There, folowing this guide, i was thinking i was going the wrong way. I had to cut one of the electrical contacts as described there. Because of that now the driver wont have power ( i think???).

Will somebody please help me explain how to mod my switch so it works with der wichtels driver AND fivemega's 12aa to4d batteryholder?
Any help wil be much appreciated.

You would have had a better response to your questions if you had posted
them in the correct subforum ...... "Homemade and Modified Flashlights"

The photo of your wiring is correct if you are running your 3 P7s in series

But the momentary switch is to provide a signal to the converter that Will (wquiles) was using.

I do not have the schematic for the der wichtels driver, so I can't say if it needs just a control or if it needs power to be switched off.

I have seen the video already, but my driver is different from that one.

Did you read tx101's reply in Post #4? Follow the link he provided and download the der Wichtel driver datasheet. Read the datasheet. It has a wiring diagram for the single mode and the A/B drivers.

I got my driver soldered to the switch and everything works fine! Now i must wait until the thermal glue comes in to solder the leds.
