LOL
Actually the idea of a ‘self-destruct mode’ seems pretty cool. In the event I ever get robbed, a few clicks from off will activate this mode so the attacker will later find a nice surprise in his pocket… 
Just got my replacement head from Hank today - All fine and dandy, been testing the light for the past couple of minutes and working flawlessly.
Very fast replies from him and very good support.
Now, waiting for the XP-L HI MCPCB kit that I've also ordered, as I couldn't stand the SST-20's tint shifting with brightness and the beam pattern overall.
Happy camper :)
Now I have a spare head that might be functional and no idea what to do with it. Well, I guess it's going to be surgery (*ahem.. gutting) first and ideas later..
Nice light, but especially nice UI.
Would still like to see some small functional changes in Anduril and I'm going to make a mention of them at some point, but for now, I might just enjoy this light being functional :)
Oh.. and not to forget, I really like the compact 18500 size (bought 2 x 2000 mAh Vapcells and already had the 18500 since the 1st order of the light itself)
I wish more lights would be made for or supporting the option of the 18500 format cells - For an EDC light that would get little to no daily use, I find a 2000 mAh cell to be plenty :)
I too use a Mac. Make sure that you are logged on as administrator. Go to the App Store and install Xcode (if not installed). In a browser go to brew.sh. Copy the line of text you see there. Open the terminal (command+space bar and type “terminal” no quotes) paste and hit return. Password is what you use to log onto your computer if it asks. Next step is to open a browser and go to macappstore.org search for avrdude. Follow the instructions (more copy and paste into terminal window) . After it finishes (I have an older Mac so it took some time) it will return to the command line. Type avrdude and list of modifiers will show that the program is installed.
Can’t check further without the hardware from Hank. I don’t know where you put the hex file to flash to the light.
I have not done this before, so if what is above is incorrect please let me know (kindly,if possible)
Any help would be appreciated.
Got my OshPark order today, yes I ordered the wrong pcb thickness for the keys! 
New correct ones are already on order as I had already discovered that I forgot to tick a box I didn’t know to tick. And so it goes… now, if my pins were here I could play angle games like Terry and screw up a bunch of stuff (could get lucky, who knows?) I might play around with some coax cable and see what happens.
Yes, this is another brilliant idea. The D4v2 has a tremendous potential in that specific field of applications.
Of course, the D4v2 version was only accessible to few privileged customers.
But hey? It’s part of the game, those who love involving all together, hands in hands all around the world, like a true family, those who are enthusiast in functionality, only such meritorious men, women (and children) deserve the Best.
I will preciously keep this limited edition (Deluxe) on my bedside table, keeping the rainbow mode on, night and days… Every morning, I will look at it, breath deeply and realize :
That’s one small bug for a man, one giant leap for Muggle kind.
God Bless you my brother ! Amen !
in the german Taschenlampenforum 2 guys experienced a new, strange behaviour:
they played with the lights and loosened the tailcap to lock out the flashlight.
then closed the tailcap again - Aux came on for a few seconds and suddenly the main LEDs ramped to max while the button was not responsive!
same after repeadtely locking / unlocking via the tailcap and even trying the "factory reset" procedure...
one guy said he let the light sit without cell over night and since then its working without issues?
of course they are worried if there is a new bug?
Sounds more like a defective switch that got stuck in the on position?
If the switch was stuck on I think it would do a factory reset, in which case you would see blinking and stuff.
Only the new firmware has reset
Oh, I see.
The reflashing kits are for sale now.

I’m not sure if we should offer the OTG adapter, if you already have the OTG adpater, please forget about it.
Awesome, ordered one. :-)
Flash kit ordered.
Neat, he recommends using Android and can supply the adapter (for a fair price, too)
Thanks Hank. Just ordered one.
Thanks Hank. Ordered the kit as well as the OTG adapter.
You mentioned there was a video showing how to do it on the phone. Is that on the product page? I don’t see it. Only links to the .hex files.
Emisar D4V2 Flash Kit Instructions (Official How To) this is the thread that has the info for pc and phone.
Perfect! Thank you very much.
In case you want to update the OP - I measured the idle drain and AUX LED (red) High Current drain - 2.96mA high red AUX, and 20μA idle. Note that that 20 micro ampere drain appeared to “pulse” on and off, presumably as the microcontroller entered and left sleep mode.
Nice, ordered one and also the OTG adapter
