FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public

Whoa, wait! The “XX” is the whatever flavor indicator insertion you have, not a cheap knockoff. Like they do for 2X700 battery size listings.
The “appeal” part, is the less sting of the pocket for replacement of losing or damage, compared to the price tag and lottery luck needed for those high end lights.

Interesting. It runs a version of Bistro, modified so the 7135 channel drives color emitters separately from the FET channel, which drives white emitters. In practice, it’s basically Bistro except the lowest mode or two is a color instead of white. I should probably contact Recon1/Deadwood to let them know how free software works, since they don’t appear to be following the license terms (need to provide source code, or at least a link to it). This is pretty normal for anyone who is new to this sort of thing though, and I have a fill-in-the-blanks letter I can send about it.

Okay, sent. I hope the sales address gets to the right person.

Added to list….

  • FW3UN = Unoptainium
  • FW3L = Lead

The driver is the CWF Dragon driver from Charles Wiggins.

Ooops, my bad! I screwed that one up. :person_facepalming:

No problem though, it can be easily fixed. :wink:
Fill in the blank below & I’ll edit… THE LIST. :smiley:

FW3XX = "blank"

I’d like to cancel my last 2.

She’s talking about the firmware, not the driver

@ Rat_Racer … Excuse my ignorance, but what is a “$$$ Pele”??

You gonna hold out for the FW3G model?? :wink:

LOL. Possible

FW3TA

Me too. Starting saving my pennies today…. :wink:

Dare I even ask??? :smiley:

Yes, and I’ve already worked things out with CWF and RMM. CWF even sent me a nice purple Dragon S2+ with green LEDs, just because he wanted to be nice. :slight_smile: I’m not previously familiar with Recon1 or Deadwood Custom Works though, and the license applies to anyone who distributes the code — including when used inside a product they sell.

This sort of thing happens all the time, is easy to resolve, and typically isn’t a big deal. It’s just interesting stumbling across my code in places I didn’t know about.

Special Order / Ready for Purchase _In your dreams_. :wink:

  • FW3UN = Unoptainium

I guess we are all eagerly awaiting February 20th.

Lucky guess?? :smiley: Yep… it would seem so cabfrank. :+1: . :wink:

While we’re guessing, I know how you feel about assumptions and all that, but putting you on the spot, if you absolutely HAD to guess, when do you think FW3A sales will begin? Do you think/hope May sounds reasonable?

best not to ! :innocent:
