DriverVNX3
We integrate some of the best LED flashlight UI designs with the culmination of knowledge, yet built from the ground up, both software & hardware. Little numbers of things does everything for everyone but we hope DriverVNX3 will cover enough grounds to suits most needs. This circuit & UI will be available in all 1 - 4 cells lights with an E-Switch/Side-Switch. Oh, Richard is responsible for 99.99% of the formation of DriverVNX3. All I did was talk CHEERS!

Ramping & Discrete UI Hidden Features
- Double Click = 100% Turbo
- Triple Click = Strobe
- Four Click = Beacon (Roadside Caution Signaling OK)
- Five Click = Voltage Blinks
Note* While in Hidden Features Quick Click revert back to last mode used
Note* Strobe is visually a bright constant ON with fast blinks. This practically allows constant target observation while the brighter blinks disorient. Achieved with specific blink frequency & duty cycle.
Note* Beacon is a dim constant ON with slow double blinks. Excellent as a beacon locator & roadside caution alert while keeping heat and run-time optimally.
Config Mode
- 8 Quick Click enters Config Mode. Light will blink ON & OFF if activated or does nothing if Config Lock.
- Each setting has 4 group of Clicks
- Example: 8-1-3-2 = 8 Click, then 1 Click, then 3 Click, then 2 Click
Note* All configurations memorized even after battery changes.
