Minor bit of feedback on Biscotti: I’ve had the M1 with it for about a week now, and it works beautifully. Except sometimes, typically if I’ve had it on for a while, I half-press and it goes into the initial config mode without me pressing the required 10 times. No idea why, but no skin off my nose, I just let it roll until it sets back on “regular operation”.
Take it with a grain of salt, aside from setting mode group to 8 (and 2 twice for testing purposes) and mode memory to ON, which I did within 2 minutes of popping in the battery, I haven’t played with it more than I needed to Still, it’s a surprisingly intuitive UI once you get used to its “tells”, and mode group details notwithstanding, I felt I wouldn’t need more than half an hour mucking around to know the ins and outs of the firmware. So great job, Selene, Jared and Simon, you guys really took Convoy far above and beyond the “budget light” label with this :+1:
I wouldn’t know how to tell, this is my first Biscotti torch. If it helps any, when I’m in mode selection the intervals between the end of a set of blinks and the start of the following one is about a full second.
Thanks. That looks like it’s probably the old one running at double speed, since the code has two full-second delays between those groups. Another way to tell is in biking mode… it should stutter roughly once per second, but the older ones did it every half-second or so.
It’s probably just acting weird occasionally due to being the first batch. As far as I’m aware, all that weirdness got fixed in the second batch. I don’t have any second-batch units for testing though; just a few first-batch ones.
Doesn’t really matter, TK. I’m more than fine with this double-speed UI - if you ask me, it could be the standard. (Though I know not everybody has my kind of sense of timing.)
I just checked it and it’s working fine. I’ve noticed BLF seems to be glitching a bit today. I couldn’t reach the site at all for maybe 5 minutes earlier. The link should work now though. Try it again and let us know.
Hi all! I’m new here and long before I got registered here I have been following this thread. Thanks to whoever owns convoy I really liked c8 clear and also I have convoy s2+.
Right now I’m getting ready to eat “Deluxe Shells and Cheese” from a local grocery store. It says “Deluxe” right on the box so it must be true right?
Inside the box I have a squeezy packet of “Premium Cheese Sauce” that makes the noodles in the box taste good.
Where am I going with this you ask?
There are those who make wondrous claims…and those who make wonders reality and refuse any claim to these wonders.
I am truly blessed to have one of the latter on my side.
Oh my gosh you’re killing me! :person_facepalming:
Ask DBCstm about the button… I don’t know myself. Do you think I would have called myself J-Dub if I thought I was going to do more here than ask about getting a better EDC light for under $25? :person_facepalming:
At least you have a cool username!
I’m leaving now…going to find a drive-thru and order me a TK with cheese. Only problem is you need a lightsaber to cut the darn thing.
One day, when Einstein was asked to explain radio, he said: “You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat. You pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles. Do you understand this? And radio operates exactly the same way: you send signals here, they receive them there. The only difference is that there is no cat.”
And thus, any time there is no cat, or more specifically, a conspicuous vacancy where one would expect a cat, one can say it’s like radio. I’m like that, only instead of no cat, there’s no mac-n-cheese. I even made a new avatar:
