Yup. It does some neat stuff, and the color modes are lots of fun. Tterev3 is impressively good with hardware and has made some really cool things.
I get the impression that we disagree on almost every aspect of UI design thoughā¦ so I donāt tend to actually use it. I never know what itās going to do when I turn it on, and I often have to pull out the manual to figure out how to get it into the mode I want. Thereās no way to make it consistently start at moon, or to disable memory, and I had to look up how to access battcheck just now. Maybe I should make a diagram so I can remember how to use it.
BTW, itās recommended to use a larger host or diffuser for multi-color lights. Putting all the LEDs in a shared reflector means all the color LEDs will have weird-shaped beams which donāt hit the same spot. Itās nice having that all in a tiny host, but I had to put a strong diffuser on the lens to make the beams converge.
FWIW, mode sets were implemented first and are at the core of Narsilā¦ ramping was added on later by popular request. Thatās why the blinkies, even in ramping mode, use the mode-set UI.
The hardware doesnāt have a calibrated sensor, so it will generally be off by a significant amount from one light to another.
If it helps, I added manual temperature calibration to a recent version of Anduril, and it works on the Q8. The user can tell the light what its temperature is now, for calibration purposes, and what temperature it should use as its heat limit.
This also adds full thermal regulation with smooth adjustments, plus a bunch of other extra features.
However, there is no way to calibrate the sensor on a stock Q8 without reflashing it.
Itās not so bad, is it?
The Q8 is designed to make this relatively easy to do.
