PortaLED Budget Edition

Using the spare time I had today I partially assembled a PortaLED PCB, as I had all the parts on hand. This time, I put in a one ohm resistor for the current sense resistor instead of 0.3 ohms to reduce the drive current to make the circuit work with the tiny inductor (which actually had a saturation current of 250mA, while my original design wanted to run at 630mA; I only noted the current rating of 1.9A). I didn't put in the microcontroller and tied the enable pin high. I also didn't put in the battery/USB switchover MOSFET/diode combination out of laziness. I just wanted to test to see if the circuit would work as a basic light and if there was really nothing too wrong about my design from before.

Mostly soldered board.

And it did work!

Assembled.

Stacked boards to form a case.

Plenty bright enough at this drive current. Charger works fine, just don't have it plugged in when on.

Not sure why I only get partially uploaded.
