Maxflex UIB levels

[iggs]

I was wondering if anyone knew the approximate mA's for the different levels in the UIB, how to work them out. Also the same for the 3 emergency low power settings

The Maxflex is set up with the current selected at 1000mA

There's too many combinations (350/500.. 1000) of tables for me to bother working them all out. Also, as I refine the firmware over time, the current settings can get tweaked/adjusted, so even if I documented them now, in a few weeks, month or two or three, they could change again.

Basically they sorta/kinda double for each step.

So, one step down from 1000mA would be around 500mA, 2 steps down 250mA etc. Just roughly.

If you really want to know, then you can just put an meter in series on the amp range and measure.

cheers,

Hi, georges80, I already know that have instructions of the maxflex, but could do you a picture of the maxflex with the connection wires, please

Thank you

Deleted wrong diagram, please see the updated below.

Close - but NOT right. You have the CONTROL SWITCH wired wrong. It needs to go from SW to ground... STAT is for the voltage status LED/resistor.

God that picture made me panic, just wired up a maxflex board and I didn't do it like that :-S

Picture updated.

That looks better, thanks. Also, can you please go and edit your first post with the wrong picture and delete the picture so folk don't accidentally copy that one.


Also, the POWER switch from the battery to maxFlex is optional. MaxFlex only draws about 50uA from the battery when it is 'electronically off', so unless you use your light VERY infrequently or require total OFF, there is no need for a separate power switch.
