+1 for Ubuntu Linux or one if it’s official flavors (Xubuntu, Lubunut, Kubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, etc) loaded onto a USB drive. It’s typically much easier than you’d imagine and it doesn’t make any changes to your hard drive (unless you specifically tell it to).
Yes, I have the same problem, waiting for the seller’s (Simon from Convoy store) feedback.
From where have you bought yours?
The problem is that the light enters into group selection mode every time you switch it on. Unfortunately it is something that you can only possibly fix with driver reprogramming.
Hi Benoe, got it from Convoy store in Aliexpress as well.
In my case, that doesn’t seems to be group selection mode. Seems to me it’s in normal operating mode. Just that the light flickers some kinda code (doesn’t look like a random blink) before it goes to the default moonlight mode.
Yes, it should be the config mode, and what you see is the two “buzzes” (first for group selection, second for mode memory on/off). Normally you should get here after tapping the button 10 times.
Hello, it works correctly to buy in the store of simon, only that it is a little quick the blinks, it hinders a little the programming requires some attempts, one is programmed in mode 10 the other stock.
Just got mine today. Can’t really beat it for the price.
I’m a n00b when it comes to programming a light but was able to get memory turned on which was most important. Planning on trying a different setting (4) but 1 is good for now.
10 clicks fast less than 3 seconds, with flashlight turned on, if after this flashes 2 times and then 3 enter as a programming, not really, repeat 10 clicks fast not deep, flash 2 times tighten before doing 3 Blinks, re-start, starts 1 blinking, pause 2 blinking pause ……… 12 blinking, not counting blinking counting pause between blinks, if you want 4 press in pause 4 in depth to turn off / on, on And verify that it is the way to your taste, it seems difficult but it is not after 2 or 3 try , and excuse my bad english use translator, greetings !!!
Although Simon mentioned he’ll be back online on 15FEB on his store, I drop him a message on the 13FEB regarding my C8 flickering issue. Received a reply from him yesterday and by today it’s concluded. He will send me a replacement driver. While I still have to find someone to solder it for me, that’s the best customer service I’ve had from any China retailer.
Frankly with a festival as big as Chinese New Year celebration in China, I wouldn’t thought of getting any reply from him before 15FEB.
