Thanks for the reply, Lexel. I think I want high/low capability, which means Gen 1. I keep my batteries charged so not having LDO and LVP is ok.
With Gen 1, can I get low and high brightness similar to low and high on a cyan D4S?
I am able to flash Anduril, but I’m not set up for compiling. Would someone be able to post both the regular and 219B hex files with the changes already made for the aux board?

D4S uses a fairly high brightness, I would reach about the same with “2mA” setting

Actually, I’d be ok with the high being a little dimmer than the D4S high.
I’d like the low to be about the same as the D4S low, though. I use it on my nightstand facing the bed. Is that possible?
I realize I’ve been occupying your sales thread. We can move to PM if you like.

low is always based mainly on the internal pull up resistor in the MCU, nothing you can change there
selection guide added
I also compiled hex files for the FW3A, but they are untested yet
It’s not stock Anduril there are some changes

Lexel, the link to the zipped hex file you mentioned previously says “File Not Found”.

Thank you Lexel! I’m excited to install them when they arrive.
This looks awesome. It may be enough to convince me to learn to flash my board.

flashing is just the top end mod, you can simply put it on the battery as always ON
If I do it that way will it affect the tint of my light?

the Aux LEDS mainly light outside the beam angle of the regular LEDs and only with very low brightness
you won’t see it at distances above 20cm even on Moonlight
Awesome, thanks. I will be ordering.

Edit; posting my final changes now that Lexel has replied:
cfg-fw3a.h ADD TO END
hwdef-FW3A.h ADD/CHANGE
//#ifndef VISION_PIN
//#define VISION_PIN PB2 // pin 7, optic nerve
//#define ADC_CHANNEL 0x01 // MUX 01 corresponds with PB2
//#define ADC_DIDR ADC1D // Digital input disable bit corresponding with PB2
//#endif
#define ADC_PRSCL 0x06 // clk/64
#ifndef AUXLED_PIN
#define AUXLED_PIN PB2 // pin 7
#endif

Can you post the changes you made to the HWDEF file in addition to the rest? I am able to compile my own so I just want to edit what is necessary without using the hex files.
Example (I will edit/delete this when you reply)
cfg-fw3a.h ADD
hwdef-FW3A.h ADD/REMOVE
same as any other Aux HWdef, but you need to disable the optic nerve
//#ifndef VISION_PIN
//#define VISION_PIN PB2 // pin 7, optic nerve
//#define ADC_CHANNEL 0x01 // MUX 01 corresponds with PB2
//#define ADC_DIDR ADC1D // Digital input disable bit corresponding with PB2
#define ADC_PRSCL 0x06 // clk/64
// has a lighted button
#ifndef AUXLED_PIN
#define AUXLED_PIN PB2 // pin 7
#endif

Looks really good contactcr! I think I will end up going green. I just can’t decide between 0.3mA and 0.15mA.
I sorta regret getting my glow gasket since I’ve seen this. xD
Nice… I seriously need to learn how to flash firmware.

Not terribly difficult once you have the software installed and the hardware to do a flash. I hear most people have more trouble getting the Windows drivers sorted for the USBasp. I use Linux, and it is a breeze.
What kind of computer do you have available?
The more difficult part here is modifying the Anduril code before flashing it. I haven’t tried that yet, but I have 2 Lexel boards coming. I will see if I can write up a guide or something once I do one successfully.

I use Windows 10 to do the flashing.
I compiled my own but you don’t need to, Lexel supplied some hex files too.
Any single thing is not hard but there are quite a few tedious steps involved when it’s all added together.
