✌ FREEME - ASTROLUX FT03 Mini XHP50.2 (4200lm) / SST40 Anduril AUX LEDs USB-C 18650 Flashlight - ALIVE

All replied.

Ordered 3 one of each color 2 will be X-mas gifts

Thanks pal, appreciated!

One green and one blue ordered in XHP-50

Just got to decide which of the colours is going to gifted now.

Just ordered Black and Green ... thanks !

Interested if still ‘live’

Is it possible for someone to alter NarsilM to give the ability to change AUX lights? I’d like to flash the FT03 Mini as Anduril is too overwhelming for the average user. I could gift a light with NarsilM to my Dad but with Anduril, forget it.

I’ve messaged Ben at Mateminco suggesting they need to release two versions as they’re limiting their audience. Anduril is only attractive to flashaholics. If they had something basic it could be much more popular.

Would you dad care if the aux lights didnt work?

Haha, I gave that as an example.

I’d be selling these if I there’s an interest as a gun light with usb charging, most hunters don’t like too many functions.

I think I need to make my own firmware that suits my customers

I would be curious to know how the driver controls the aux lights. With older designs, a single output from the MCU would be connected to the aux through a resistor and the MCU would send a PWM signal to it. You had on or off. Then I think Anduril added bright or dim. Now we have color control and I don’t know how it’s doing it. Anyone know? I try not to bother TK.

How exactly is Anduril too overwhelming? Basic functions the same as NarsilM…

Narsil has simple ramping and has the ability to disable all strobes, no accidental 4 clicks to ramp config, if a customer enters it they could mess it up and complain. I’m not the only one that thinks it’s overwhelming, I see it mentioned on multiple reviews and Sofirn has said they’d never personally use Anduril as it’s too much. They only offer it because this forum demands it.

I’d see it so beneficial to have a mode like muggle that disables all strobes, config menus, but offers the full brightness.

I would not gift Anduril, either. It’s way too easy to accidentally go into a menu. Also, 2, 3 or 4 clicks can do different things depending whether it’s on or off.

I like it for myself though. I just think manufacturers are limiting their audience by just releasing one version with Anduril.

It’s not profitable to release different UI options. I have never seen it done. I would not expect them to ever do that. Especially after they already ordered all their drivers.

I only thought of it since the Meote FM1 released two versions.

I wrote this to make it more simple

What happened to the temp rating of the XHP-50?

When I ordered my 2 units it offered 5000k or 6500k now the website says just 6500k

I ordered 5000k for both of my units originally.

They probably sold all their 5000K. Happens all the time.

PS, Banggood shows both choices in stock so I’m not sure why yours says only 6500K is available.

What do you mean exactly by change the AUX lights?

At this point if it's somewhat an involved change for NarsilM, I'd rather change Anduril to remove options. I've been modding Anduril to my own prefs for a while now.

Right now, for a simple single AUX (usually switch) LED, Anduril can control 2 output levels while NarsilM only does one level. For the more complex TIR optic multi-color AUX LED's, Anduril must be running on a more advance MCU that has more I/O pins and code space like the Atttiny 1634 which NarsilM does not support.

So for this FT03 mini, I don't see any info anywhere posted about the AUX LED design.

To add 1634 NarsilM support is a relatively big project - not at all planned or in the works. Even adding the simpler-to-do option of supporting 2 levels may not be that easy because I might not have the available code space with the limit of 8 KB the Atmel ATtiny85 has.
