Haven’t you tried running the test on 463 with higher temp limit, like 60C?
Everything was at default settings, the only thing I touched was the calibration of the temperature sensor.

Thanks for reporting this. This is exactly the sort of thing I thought might happen after merging such a large patch a couple weeks ago, and the reason why I don’t consider those new builds stable yet. Not looking forward to debugging it, but I’ll see if I can find the issue and fix it.
Do you use debugWIRE for debugging?
Isn’t debugWIRE too slow for real-time applications?
This is what the first attempt looks like:

I just went looking for this.
Does anyone know if the tailcap is interchangeable with older model D4v1?
I might just give it a try regardless, but if it can be confirmed, I will have to include an extra magnetic tailcap for my v1 in my next order.
I’m also using a V1 (maybe from the later model) tailcap on my V2. I do not need a magnet and it makes the light a few mm shorter. The styling looks even more fitting than the native V2 tailcap.
Looks promising. Could you test your code with higher temp limits ( 60C or 65C )?
P.S. In my opinion staying as close as possible to the temp limit shouldn’t be the top priority, steady output that’s what really is important.
I completely agree with that. This is what the simulated target looks like:
Looks pretty good.
At the 60 degree setting, output looks fairly stable at 20% power, which should correspond to approximately 860 lumens with XPL HI.
The v2 tail cap has fitted fine on my D4v1 (from the middle of the production run) and also on a D1. The D4v2 tube fits both of these earlier models, too, although the threads are a bit tight especially in the head of the D4. The colour match of the greys is good but not perfect.
I confirm that the v1 aluminum tailcap fits just fine on any v2 aluminum body. I’ve personally done that with two different sets of tailcaps and body tubes and it works fine.
I prefer the v1’s tailcap as I don’t use a lanyard or magnet. The v1’s tailcap is shorter, weighs less, and is more comfortable in the palm of my hand.
Thank you for the answers. I seem to recall there were minor changes made to the V1 body at some point, and some of the threads might be different, but it sounds likely that V2 tailcaps are compatible with all V1 battery tubes, at least for the aluminum versions.
I would want the regular tailcap for pocket carry, but I’ve realized being able to easily swap for a magnetic tailcap would be handy in the garage and likely a handful of other situations.
you’ve got me mixing tail caps on my V! and V2 lights …… and I don’t want to 
Looks good. :+1:
I will create an account on https://code.launchpad.net/ and upload my code once it’s a little more refined. I will also run the exact same tests with the old firmware and with my other Emisar (D4V2 Nichia, D4SV2 XPL-HI, D4SV2 Nichia) lights.
We also need to think about what should happen if you activate the turbo when the flashlight temperature is already above the defined temperature limit. We can’t just rely on the normal thermal regulation code, because it can’t react that fast, at least not on lamps like the D4.
Excellent! Will your code work on other Anduril lights? Or is it only for D4V2?
Great. :+1: Will it be a piece of source code or a ready to use firmware?
Could you please post graphs for other flashlights too? I am especially interested in D4v2 Nichia and D4sv2 Nichia.
