If I understand correctly, you could use Baton.c (in the same directory as Ferrero Rocher)… It won’t remember the mode if you remove the battery, but otherwise I think it might do what you described.
Or Ramping_UI_table.c has memory too, but uses a smooth ramp instead of a stepped ramp. Again, it forgets when the battery is removed.
Not that kind. Ferrero rocher did not have a click to off option like baton code, this is what I mean. While in on mode, click or long click to go to off, but save current mode so it can be set by next short click from off mode, as baton does.
That the mode is not saved when battery is turned out is clear, as there is no eeprom saving in baton or Ferrero rocher.
Ferrero Rocher by itself does not have click-to-off, but both Baton.c and Ramping_UI_table.c do. A single short click turns them on or off, using the last-used mode.
If you want click-to-off in the Ferrero Rocher interface, you might want to take a look at Tom_E/eswitch.c. It switches short click from “next mode” to “off” after the light has been on for 1.2 seconds.
Accept my version doesn't have memory, but you could use the mode switching timeout method from it . With quick access to lowest, and quick access to highest, I never saw the need for mode memory with this e-switch firmware.
I'm lefty so preferred having it to the right of the switch because I hold the light switch up in my left hand, usually.
The tailcap was loose, so I jammed in several layers of alum foil (Heavy Duty), and jammed the cap down, trimmed the foil back - might still notice slight fragments of it sticking out of the joints. I don't trust it with the striker screwed in though - might not hold up under heavy twisting or blunt force trauma.
FWIW, I’m planning a ramping FET+1 firmware soon. The upside is better low/med modes, but the downside is that there aren’t enough attiny pins to support red+green LEDs, an e-switch, LVP, and a second power channel. It’s one pin short unless you use pin 1 (which would mean no reflashing afterward).
Yes - it's pretty much the stock T_K firmware. The light pipe is a tight snug fit with no adhesive so far - probably should use something though for water resistance, but think it must dry clear. I had to cut it down to fit, using a cut-off wheel on my rotary tool. It somewhat melted the plastic, but no ill effects.
Ohh - dont' think I posted this, but on about July 5th I did the repair of the tailcap - took 2 strips of heavy duty alum foil, folded them over to 4x times, jammed them in to get the SS tail cap to hold. I also re-soldered the tail spring bypass so I good a good connection there. Results were:
On a fresh AWT IMR 2500 mAh cell @4.20v, 5.35A @tail and 1394 lumens @start, 1285 @30 secs on the T5 5D3 XM-L2/Noctigon.
Not bad for this light - the SS bezel is quite deep so I think it blocks a little output
Looks like they got the 14500 tube - hope it would fit the F6, think it would, not sure. Think'n of ordering one. They also have the screw in accessories, pricey a bit though.
Weird - seems like they list stock on all 3, but you can only order the 14500. Could be the 16340 tube may fit 18350's - length is close, just a matter of the inside width - from the pics it looks like the 14500 tube is made with a thicker tube, dunno bout the 16340 tube.
I just submitted a Q to the seller - I'll find out, but probably they only have the 14500's left. This is basically an old Sunwayman C15A with the AA size tube, C10R with the 16340 tube.
This seller, btw, is the tube manufacturer. Probably got stock with inventory, and tried to sell remaining ones off themselves.
Ordered the 14500 tube on Sep 24th and it arrived yesterday in record time, no special shipping option! It fits the F6 light perfect!!
I mean perfect... Sorry no pics, but with the 14500 tube, the light is the same length as a slim AA zoomie with the head retracted, about 92 mm in length!
Only negative is it has the same uncoated steel spring in the tail, but also has the same quality machining, anodizing and quality stainless steel cap with the accessory threaded hole.
i bought right now this one…looks like roche copy…hm…i will open it and report…but,this light looks very very good:)
i just wonder-the battery indicator is only on the original??or made by you?
ah i see-ots the BG version…no more available anymore:((
Incorrect. Tom has his resistors backwards. Yes, red LEDs have much lower Vf, but in this case the red is only on when VBAT is already significantly down, and most importantly the red appears dimmer to the eye. 1KR for the green, 470R for the red.
Holy cow!!! Bout the resistors, oh boy - I've had it backward all this time? Not good... I still use the light regularly, though the old obsolete Sunwayman (forget model) is a better deal - more compact, lighter in weight - I prefer it. I grabbed a couple of the last ones from ILLUM.com a while back for a great price.
Man, I'm glad to see you back comfy!!! If I could figure how to insert a smiley face, I'd put in a couple dozen!
