I have had a version of the Lionheart/Lioncub driver for a while and it's now time to make it available to folk that want similar capabilities for their own mods.
The driver has the same operating features (UI0/UI1) as the LH/LC driver. What makes it different is that it has a regulator on board (for the uC) and this allows the driver to operate at up to 16V (input). Of course the LED drive is DIRECT DRIVE (with PWM for dimming) - so it is intended for battery/LED combinations that work well together. If the user requires to 'tame' the drive current, then he/she needs to provide a current regulator or resistor in between the driver's LED+/LED- output and the LED(s).
Below is a picture of the driver (D2DIM). The board is 0.84" in diameter and has a positive nubbin connection on the back.
Basically it needs connection to BAT+ and BAT-. It then has 2 connections to LED+ and LED-. The driver has electronic off - i.e. it will turn off power to the LED and go to sleep (drawing ~50uA). The output stage can switch/PWM up to 3A of LED load.
Available as soon as I can put up info on my website etc etc.
