    How to make a 5V mod with a TI regulator.

    zztommis. This chip is a "fixed" output of 5 volts. There is no way to change the output from it.....but you could put a SCHOTTKY DIODE 2A 80V in between the output and the atty. This will drop the voltage to the atty by about .6 volts making it about 4.4 volts. OR you could just use this...

    st0nedpenguin, You are correct. The control switch is a low amp N/C switch. When the switch opens the regulator fires.

    How to make a 5V mod with a TI regulator.

    Madshock, You are correct this is not a LDO regulator: Dropout Voltage VD Io = 3A ,TJ = +25°C - 2.2 - 2.5 V This chip has a dropout voltage up to 2.5 volts...another way to look at this is...you want 5 volts out, then add the dropout = 7.5 volts. This means when your batteries drop to...

    The "BS" Mod

    Nope...just a battery with 3.7 volts. My wife has a problem with anything over 3.7 volts. If you just wiggle the battery connector it will pull out. I screw on an old carto so can get a grip on it. Then just use a "bic" pin and push from the led end. It all comes out in a nice package.

    The "BS" Mod

    It was a "BS" flashlight. It had 2 AA in it before. It also had a little thumb wheel on the right side to turn it on. It fits in the hand very nice.

    The "BS" Mod

    I will probably lose all my merits badges for this one. I found this lying around in a junk drawer and I just had to mod it. I used an old 808 automatic battery. If you look at the drawing below you will see there are only 3 parts inside a battery. You have a battery connector on one end...

    That looks correct to me, but you are not using pin "2". That is your choice and it will work fine. That is a LED (fire light). It goes from pin "5-out" to ground. I am not sure what picture you are looking at, I showed a RED one and a Blue one. If you are talking about the Blue one...

    E9 from e-cig.com

    I started out with a E9 type KR808D-2. below are some more E9 type e-cigs. I really liked everything about them...(battery life,vapor production and throat hit).. but finding replacement parts that did not cost an arm and a leg is very hard. I switched over to KR808D-1 and to me everything...

    Just how big IS the Buzz?!

    I am not going to name names here. There are a few that do use a booster chip in it. Any mod that starts off with 1 battery (3.7 volts) and is able to output more then 3.7 volts is a booster mod. A regulator mod on the other hand always uses 2 batteries (7.4 volts) and outputs less then 7.0...

    Adjustable voltage box mod

    Below is what it looks like. It is the same size as the chip (10mmX12mmX5mm). You can increase the cooling efficiency by add a layer of heat sink compound between the Amp and the heat sink: Heat Sink Grease (6g) - RadioShack.com Looking for the compound I found this one a RS. It is made for...

    [ The Heat sink is a heat sink off of a RC car speed controller. I have about 10 of them that are 10 years old. I just cut one into 10 pieces and drilled a hole in it to mount it. It looks like the metal piece on top of this speed controller before I cut it up: Novak Rooster Crawler...
