This is prototype 2 of 7
I so hope other team members will find something too!
First look (not even put cells in it) sweet
SO HOPE WE CAN LABEL THEM SAMPLES!!
Great news Miller! That answers your question if the other 6 prototypes were send out as well as Tom’s one.
(oh, no, I’m so busy ’till sunday night that I will not even be able to even check the mail for middle-of-the-road plastic bags :person_facepalming: )
regarding the BLF Firmwares running out of space and IOs, what bigger MCU could be the next step? And can old code be used?
Lamps getting more and more nice / complex. I see multicoloured lights, some with displays, more or RGB status LEDs.
Can’t the AT84 and little more expensive and newer AT841 be seen ad future MCUs, more pins, more channels anx better power usage for the 841 if I understand Mike C correctly.
Looking forward to seeing what the team thinks of the Proto 3 lights. Thanks for the pics Tom! Those comparison beamshots are amazing as well. The “grouping” is obviously much tighter with the Q8 than the Securitying. Did they thicken the shelf or did the team decide it was ok with the shelf thickness from Proto 2?
Yes, I do believe the hot spot in the pics is bout accurate to what I'm seeing. It doesn't mean though the 4X SRK clone throws much better. Found in my notes back on July 5th when I did the full mod to that light I measured 52 kcd, but that was at 5,450 measured lumens @30 secs and ~16.0A tail (clamp meter). I never could get as much amps out of that light as I could with the Q8 prototypes.
This is good news you received your Q8, The Miller - bout time you get a look
Ehm, I see a lot of white space in the post
So at first I thought there could be a funny pic
But doing this quoting thing, nothing shows up and you have been making lots of drivers with Narsil right?
Did you PM Tom about it?
