Interesting. Thanks! That’s not in the manual. It only goes up to “12 Fast Clicks & Hold”.
Do you know of any other undocumented functions in the M43?
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?
Just checked out HAM’R…
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.
lol… I found some behind the scenes footage from Dales HAM’R build!
Maybe this is a similar issue to what TA is experiencing trying to get Anduril to function on the MF01S?
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!?
Here’s a link exploring some commercial buck and boost drivers, tests and modifications:
I send you link to extended manual.
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 will also ask for a link to the extended M43 instruction
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?
thank you!

THANK YOU AEDe!
Whoa! Thanks a bunch!
Thanks Tom Tom,
I started with Jason suggestion on that guys youtube videos which are helpful in a practical diagnostic sense. I then took your advice and checked out some online free ee lectures where I stumbled across an old school one from a MIT EE engineering prof. lol WAY over my head but I like it. lol makes me wish I did go the scientific route in school instead of business. Nevertheless I might just learn about what you guys are talking about one day after all!
Thanks for the additional link. The EE course is vast compared to the more specific information I’m trying to grasp right now like the flashlight components
That’s a great idea, actually. Complex, I’m sure. But I like it haha
I’ll be bummed if there are no pogo pins, it seems like they are not that hard to add, and they add a whole lot of functionality.
