No. The AVR timers are more than not-great. They randomly gain/lose something like an hour per day unless driven from an external clock source. It’s not close enough for a schedule function.
Maybe V2 can have a light sensor or something, but it won’t be feasible for V1 to turn on automatically at night.
It is great to see all you new members joining BLF forums because of this lantern project, and makes me happy to be working to develop an area light/lantern that has the features that no other commercially available lantern ever had, or been able to offer, -its been a couple years in the making, but finally great to be at the point of getting the first BLF lantern project into production soon, to fill that void the market has not done so up until now for LED lantern lighting.
DBSAR, special thanks to you for all the time, dedication, and project management you’ve put into this. Tons of effort from lots of good people, but you’ve really gone above and beyond to realize the lantern. Thank you, Cheers good sir!
