I know it’s a complex solution but if one was really determined, a machine-readable blink-out would work.
I mean: do the same thing as optical programming but in reverse. Now it’s flashlight blinking out some binary code and a smartphone app receiving it.
Sorry for asking a dumb question but what does “Temperature should be 25C” actually mean? Does that mean I need to make sure that ambient temperature around the (cold?) flashlight is 25°C before I click 14 times and hold?
LP, he’s saying the base setting should be 25C…I think. I found the M43 UI too confusing so I pulled it, stripped the driver, and piggybacked in an FET driver. I have Anduril in my M43 now too. And a Master/ 3 Slave configuration if I remember right. It gets really really REALLY hot in Turbo, way fast! 12 Samsung emitters will do that in this small of a light.
Thanks Matt, it was one of those wild hair moments. (unfulfilled due to the lack of the extension tubes Sofirn quit on)
Anduril works fine in Ham’r because the drivers are separated from the heat source by a significant amount of aluminum. By filling the head of the light with the base of the finned addition there is a LOT of mass underneath the emitters. My M43 has the drivers virtually up against the bottom of a comparatively thin emitter shelf, as such it floods heat into the Master driver in a very quick manner and Anduril isn’t set up for this… too much too fast by a wide margin so the thermal issues arise in the driver. Again though, in the even more powerful Ham’r it’s simply not a problem.
You’re an active member on BLF…
You’re well informed and have some pretty in depth knowledge from what I can see…
Yet you’re able to resist buying every amazing new flashlight that comes around!?
It means that temperature of flashlight body should be 25C. After 14 times and hold light blink twice and button blink green - calibration is done.
if light blink once and button blink red than calibration failled due to large(>16C) difference between temperature of light and estimated temperature by m43.
The consequence of this procedure that you can adjast “50C” stepdown in some range .e.g. if you calibrate M43 at 20C stepdown would be at 45C
i am interested in this manual as well. Thank you for the link. Could someone who knows how please enlighten those who do not, on how to get this translated into English?
