Optical programming seems amazing!

@TK
one thing for the flow chart:
If you print it on a b/w laser printer you can’t distinguish the green and black lines very well.

Mabye if they are fatter?

A direct label on the lines maybe work

Yes, but the effect isn’t as pronounced. This shows roughly what kind of tint shift to expect on three types of drivers.

With more digits shown, it’s not such a big difference:
62: 9.52 hours

65: 8.45 hours

The script rounded to the nearest integer, since the values are all approximate anyway.

Please add my name to the "interested" list for one light (first request).

Hmm, I’ll keep that in mind in case the diagram ships with the light. For now though, the .svg file is in the repository, and should work in Inkscape (free, runs on several OSes).

Do we have a current photo of the external design as of now?

Target production date or release date?

Not sure I’m familiar with negative voting. Can you just run raw numbers of for an option next to it? Also if people cannot stop at B and C, what will it accomplish? And force stopping would not be desirable I don’t think.

Hi. I would like to be put on the list for 1. Thanks

Those abilities seem cool. Getting to look like a custom guppy driver custom output settings like

I think people have forgotten that you can ramp both upward and downward. As you ramp down, you see the blink and you release the button. Done.

True, so you have to either pass it from low to high and stop and ramp back down or start ramping from above.

Put me on the list for one please.

I’m interested for 1 piece, so please put me on the list.

Using my D4, I don’t feel it has to be perfectly on the blink. I like the reference point because the human eye is terrible at judging brightness-

I frequently can’t tell if my Skilhunt H03 (last mode memory) is on medium (70lm) or high (160lm) until I cycle through the modes. The difference in modes is 10hours vs 5 hours runtime.

Nope, not yet.

As far as missing the channel blink, it could be programmed to stop there instead of just blink, then a new press would continue on in the ramp. But then, that would interrupt the ramp and all sorts of other issue. I don’t mind passing it going up then getting close coming back down, it means the lights output is just shy of maxed out on the 7135 chip so regulation is good. Stopping just over the blink of course has the FET engaged and you’ve entered into not-so-efficient territory. AS IF this were critical. In critical situations a spare cell should be readily available anyway, right?

So, I like the blink top and bottom, and the blink at the channel change. Where in the soup does that put my preference? :wink:

Out of curiosity, I tried making the smooth ramp blink every time it passed a stepped ramp level. This would make the number and placement of blinks configurable… but in practice it was mostly just annoying. Then again, the default config had 7 steps.
