Q8, PMS SEND TO THOSE WITH ISSUES BLF soda can light

I’m not that fond of strobes, and prefer they not be included with the main modes of a light.
But if they are, I just “deal with it”. :slight_smile:

Now……… if anyone has a video of Toy Keeper’s lightning mode, I would love to see that. That sounds like fun…………. :wink:

No, but in 2014 I made a “faulty wiring simulator” mode for someone. He was building some sort of fallen techno-angel with an exposed and faulty lighted heart to display at Burning Man, and this is how the heart pulsed:

This is a THORfire light, so it seems to me that it would be quite fitting for it to have a lightning strike mode.

Wow……… that is neat! Thank you TK for sharing that. :slight_smile:

You guys are kill'n me... Lightning, huh? 2-3 random low flickers than a blinding flash. We are talk'm millisecs here. Think the big flash would be a burst of 2-3, again somewhat random length times, but very quick. Repeats, but with a random pattern to it?

It can be done.

Member “Cereal_killer” had some mind blowing, strobe-tastic sequences!!! :smiley:

sounds almost like SOS in morse code, but YMMV…

To look good, it probably needs the libc random() instead of my janky pseudo-random generator… and that might not fit in the remaining ~500 bytes. IIRC, the “faulty wiring simulator” used the better part of an attiny13 all by itself.

One of the things I did with it was to give it fading aftershocks… pick a random brightness then some short random delays then “aftershock” at half the original brightness, then a quarter, then an eighth…

Anyway, I was mostly just listing off the silly things I’d use the tiny85’s space for instead of, you know, anything useful.

Thanks Miller, Is a pleasure to be part of this Forum.

Specialty. Use 2 tiny85s. lol …party light yay!

Thanks a lot for your welcome Miller!!

Uh, rim shot mode? :person_facepalming:

How about alarm clock mode? Like, tap-tap-tap (number of flashes) tap-tap-tap (after number of hours)

There are wake up alarms that slowly light up the room, I read it works great and people love it.
Heheh Tom when you move to a MCU with more coding space
Quadruple click and hold -> enter wake up alarm setting -> click number of hours
Light ramps up in 15 minutes
Heheh

Good news we received the droptest video!
Can’t wait to share it, will do it on my YouTube channel is gonna be the first video there.

OP updated with:

DROPTEST VIDEO

Good news, Thorfire did the droptest. WITH cells in it so more heavy and without shipping package, this is good result! (And just look at that tint when they click it on :wink: )

It’s always good practice to do drop testing in sandals

Yeah sandals, casual clothing, green plant, light room, seems nice place to work :wink:

Looking good. I subbed to the YouTube channel.
I think its safe to say there will be very few, if any lights that are damaged in shipping.

I kind of want to see some other tourcher tests now. Like having the light on while frozen in a block of ice. I think Simon did a video of a s2 like that.
