So... I was wondering pretty much the same for the past few days since I've noticed the new arrival on the AE Convoy Store, just didn't had the time to take a closer look at that diagram...
Now that I have a few clear minutes, I was looking again at that diagram, pretty much the reason I've got here in the first place, looking up on Google trying to find a more enlightened mind over the internet :)
Ok then, my personal thoughts so.. with the attached diagram, just to make things easier to interpret:
What I could make out of this diagram:
- From Off / "0 Mode"
- Full Press (Click) - Turn On / "1st Mode" / High / Turbo [100%] (depending on the power source, since the emitter is allowing some high currents,
using a battery will probably get around 4.5 to 6 Amps / using a PSU, thus not current limited, the driver would limit us to 8 Amps)
- From On / "1st Mode" / High / Turbo [100%]
- 1 Half Press - Nothing (?) (Or maybe it's the "Confirmation Click" for the Ramping Mode etc.. ? would make sense I'd say.. )
- 2 Half Presses - "2nd Mode" / Medium [1.5 Amps]
- 3 Half Presses - "3rd Mode" (Default - Strobe) [Configurable by 5 Half Presses (?)]
- 5 Half Presses - "Ramping Mode" - loops 3 times, probably giving you the time to select/confirm the brightness level with 1 Half Press (?);
also memorizes the last "configured"/"confirmed" brightness lvl. if it was the case / If not, after the 3 loops returns to "1st Mode" (High / Turbo - 100%)
- 8 Half Presses - Resets "Ramping Mode" & "3rd Mode" to defaults - Brightness lvl. & Mode Function [Default = Strobe] (?)
- From "2nd Mode" / Medium [1.5 Amps]
- 5 Half Presses - "Ramping Mode" (same as accessed straight from the "1st Mode")
- From "3rd Mode"
- 5 Half Presses - Configure the "3rd Mode" function - With each flash at 1 second intervals it would set the corresponding function as such:
first flash = 1%, second flash = 100%, third flash = Strobe @100%, fourth flash = Beacon @100%, fifth flash = Slow Flash @20% - while selected with a 1 Half Press (?)
If no interaction/confirmation, after one second from the the fifth flash, it would set > SOS @40%. Function will be memorized (?)
- From "Any Light Mode"
- Full Press (Click) - Completely in the dark on this one... :|
Any further thoughts, additions, corrections are welcome. Hope I've got at least half of it right..
