How do you program these things? I’ve done a little searching and haven’t find any method to program them with a USBASP. I don’t think anyone has made a config file update for AVRDude, and I haven’t seen support for the 1617 in any other AVR programming software.
DEL is reworking the driver for it needs to have a central + and a -ring around it not connected to the housing. Lumintop provided detailed measurements and first new layout is already send to check if it would fit as is
If it does DEL plans on some tweaks till he is happy with it.
Have i been put down for a 2nd unit? I did request for 2 but recall seeing only 1 being allocated to me.
That’s all folks.
Will update list later when we have reached new page
I’m considering 14 
posts
(sorry, just postponing some boring stuff at work atm)
Speaking of posts, when did you hit 10,000? I totally missed it! Congratulations!
That I have no idea, I assume an update will be released before long now that they are available to program them with open source items. Maybe atmel studio has an update for it?
And update
the first proto is anodised
more parts ready (no word about reflector)
the GT is HUGE
feast your eyes (had to anonymize the girl 
)
Omg it’s really huge. With huge size like this it should have been made into a lantern style light instead. 
With 8 batteries inside it would be quite a dumbbell! That little girl in the photo sure has pretty strong biceps lol.
Wouaaaaa
I’d be very surprised if it ever gets much above lukewarm even on turbo and running until the cells quit.
A lantern style build was considered when we started this, it was even voted on but a normal flashlight design was chosen.
As far as I know, using the USBASP through Atmel still requires AVR Dude, which in tern requires a conf file. Of coarse one could buy a Atmel ICE, but I don’t want to.
Well that is much bigger than i anticipated, i know this going to be a large light but THAT! I LOVE IT :smiling_imp: Now put 4xXPH70 on it and i am sure it still throws and run turbo all night maybe for next GB?
@The Miller: thanks for placing me in the list. cant wait for this light! :partying_face:
That vote was when I lost interest, I really thought the lantern style fitted the 12cm reflector very well.
But I must say that a flashlight this size beats every category out there :party: I’m glad that I’m on the list, this thing is a must-have 
:person_facepalming:
To (mis)quote Nick “Crocodile” Dundee:“That’s not a flashlight, THAT’S a flashlight”.
It is almost NSFW 
:person_facepalming:
The flat area around the switch gives it a slight family look with the Q8, I like that.
Then there is some L6 in there, the IMHO beautiful cutouts so nice to see that too.
And look at those fins so deep, very nice.
The girl on the original pic looks like she thinks “please take the pic fast”
Holy phuk, thats enormous :o
Yes I was aware of that, and I actually participated in the poll although I forgot which option I have voted for. :person_facepalming:
Anyway I am on the list and I will still proceed to buy one (if the price is $111 includes shipping). It is going to be a nice collection for sure but definitely not something that I will bring to the outdoor often lol.
