Flashlight User Interface Cheatsheets

(note: must be D4v2 with updated Anduril with factory reset with the unscrew tailcap, hold-down button, screw tailcap until it shows a flashing sequence;

I can't seem to do a factory reset with the "13H" method though (13 clicks, but hold down the last press) technique, probably it doesn't apply to the D4v2)

Wow thanks this is exactly what I wanted to find out

Anyone happen to have a cheet-sheet for Narsim 1.0 by any chance?

Been playing around with my ’micro, wanted to see if my old/original Q8 had momentary mode, and nope.

Blinked out the version, and it’s apparently 1.0, written by dinosaurs before The Cataclysm wiped ’em out (and their handwriting sucked anyway), so there seems to be no written record of 1.0 out there at all.

Plenty for 1.2 and even 1.3, but nothing that I found for the humble version 1.0.

Talk about going down the rabbit-hole…

Found this

which might be what I’m looking for. Anyone wants to add it to the list officially, have at it. Don’t wanna step on any toes. :laughing:

Hard not to with your feet! :laughing: :+1:

I never really played with all the little nuances of the UIs all that much, and having the ’micro made it kinda easy to do so… with a cheet-sheet in front of me. (Dunno how it’s “cheating”. but hey…)

Eg, I’m given to understand that there’s a difference between “floor” and “ceiling” as far as ramping, vs “moonlight” and “turbo”, respectively. Ceiling being 50, and turbo 100, at least in theory (can’t really tell on my ’micro; saw only green blobs in front of me with the Q8 after getting a bit too close).

But when setting moonlight to 1, the lowest, at first I wasn’t seeing any difference at all, whether set to 1 or to 7. But there’s a distinct fractional-second jump from lowlowlowlowlow to floor.

Hold the button just a bit too long and you go to floor (and keep holding and it starts ramping up, obviously); not long enough (registers as just a click, not click’n’hold) you go to last-memorised level. There’s a very short time window of holding/releasing the button to get to moonlight.

I was kinda hoping that setting moonlight would also lower floor to that level, but I guess not. Still, having it set to 1 and still turning on super-duper low is a nicety.

It would’ve been awesome to have momentary-mode on my Q8, but I’ll survive.

Dinosaurs? Ok, I am pretty old....

:laughing:

Q8 is only 3 years old! Man, the flashlight world moves fast. Lol

Oh, man... just what I was looking for. Many thanks!

Does that mean Biscotti exhibits the “Next Mode Memory” problem? It doesn’t restore the last mode used when the light was turned off.

I'm no expert, but I think something is wrong with that diagram because if mode memory is on, then the flashlight should not enter into the next mode when turned on.

Yeah it should be worded more like this.

Toldja.

I am about to order Convoy S2+ with nichia 219C which, unfortunately, has the Next Mode memory among its features, as per the description page. I asked Simon through Ali messaging, but he is too busy for the moment.

In the screenshot you have modified above, (change “Enter into last mode” instead of “Enter into next mode”), is it what you wish or is it the reality?

Do you have any flashlight using the Biscotti firmware to verify? Thanks

(I have edited my original question, 4 posts above this one, to highlight in red in the diagram the confusing area)

I do believe Biscotti firmware was made by toykeeper and doubt they would incorporate NMM so admit to changing the sheet without checking.
The diagram was probably made in China.

I should have a Biscotti firmware driver from Convoy to check on later.

Flashlights with BLF User Interfaces

I think you can rest be assured that Convoy S2+ with Biscotti firmware, does not have “next mode memory”. The S2+ with SST20/Nichia 219C with Biscotti operates similar to the Convoy C8+ with Biscotti — when mode memory is enabled, it will have “last mode memory” instead of “next mode memory”.

I don't see any mention of the F/W check mode in the Anduril guide. Isn't it 15 clicks from off?

Also, I wish there was a date right in the image of each guide at the bottom or top that would indicate the date it was last updated so I could just check the one I have with any possible new versions to verify if I need to update mine.

Thanks for all the hard work on these!

12 click and on the 13th keep it pressed , it will flash and twinkle and then after the brightest flash it’s made a factory reset

I was talking about the F/W check mode put in the F/W back in November, not factory reset. I thought it was 15 clicks to have it blink out F/W version installed on the light. I have the D4V2.
