At some point, I plan to have a script go through every post to train it to recognize requests, and in the process it’ll also add missing post numbers to the list and look for any requests which got missed. Then with the complete data set filled in, I can further tweak the engine to recognize things better.
Request numbers will change, since corrections will go in the order posted instead of the order noticed. It may also be useful to merge the TLF requests into the same list, in chronological order, in case there are any supply limitations (distinct batches) like there have been on some other projects. That will also change the request numbers.
…and you say all that as if it’s “just a thing”. LOL! Do you even know how lucky we are to have you here? Thanks for all you do around here, sincerely. :partying_face:
I took some time today to add the “votive candle” mode (candle mode timer). It’s off by default, meaning candle mode will go until it’s manually shut off or LVP activates… but the user can click 3 times to turn on the timer and add ~30 minutes. Click 3 times again to add another 30 minutes, and so on. The maximum time it can handle is about 4.5 hours.
For most of that time, it’ll run normally. However, for the final minute or so, it’ll gradually dim, sputter, and then shut off.
What are the tolerances on the inner tube? If it touches the outer tube, the switch will not work I think? I was wondering how durable this solution is.
If both the inside of the outer tube and the outside of the inner tube are anodised it will be pretty hard to wear it out to the extend that it shorts, and if it does a bit of tape (i.e. Kapton tape is durable and pretty thin) around the inner tube should fix it.
I don’t expect the tubes to ever move much in relation to each other in normal use. So, even with a piece of grit finding its way in, I don’t see how it could be a problem within the normal life expectancy of a flashlight. Or am I remembering something wrong about the design?
