YLP: UNICORN 1.0
Introduction
What you see here is an unofficial instruction written by the developer.
In any incomprehensible situations - press 12 clicks. When you break
something, remember that there is some kind of instruction. Here it is:
User Interface ( UI )
The "Unicorn" interface is conditionally divided into three levels of
entry:
Level 1
The first level of entry is the main control, allowing the lamp "just to
shine". It is intuitive and does not require reading instructions.
Click - turns on and off the lamp.
Hold - adjusts the brightness.
Hold out off - turns on the moonlight, and then starts to shake the brightness.
That's all you need to know about him at this stage.
Advanced: click + hold will start to adjust the brightness down, and
double click - turns on the turbo, from which you can go back by a
simple click.
Here is a not very visual block diagram of this piece of UI :
[img]
1 click - turns on / off the lamp.
Clamping off. - includes moonlight.
Clamping during operation - the brightness starts to shake up.
1 click + clamping - starts to shake the brightness down.
At the same time, scrolling brightness, pushing against the boundaries,
changes its direction - automatically.
Now we omit the options for configuring this interface - these are the
next levels of occurrence. Looking ahead - the adjustment is possible
both discrete and smooth, and the memory can be turned off, at what is
at the convenient brightness of the main mode. In addition, the "out of
the box" pre-tuned some additional options under 2 clicks hides a turbo
and a 4 th click - the battery indicator flashes (5 flashes at full
battery) 12 clicks - reset to factory settings, and 14 clicks - jungle ,
in which it is too early for you to climb …
The current consumption in discrete modes is the following:
Moon = 14 mA (3.3 Lm, the LED gets 10mA - the rest is eating the driver)
Low = 0.1 A
Mid = 0.45 A
High = 1.33 A
Turbo = 3 A (800 Lm)
Level 2
The second level of entry - requires reading the instructions, but still
allows you to do it without the "half liters". Starting with 2 clicks -
in the interface you can place additional options, which are enough in
this lamp. From the factory, the user is offered 4 already
pre-configured options that he can iterate through with simple actions.
Login to the first option is available under 14th clicks . Here is a
block diagram of the second option, for general understanding (it's the
most stuffed):
[img]
These options are called presets (from the English. P reset), and from
the factory are the following:
Preset 0 (workspace) - available out of the box:
2 clicks - Turbo .
4 clicks - pulse indication of the battery .
Settings of the main UI : discrete , with memory , without button
illumination, without a beacon with a button.
Preset brightness: Mode 3 ( Mid , 0.45 A ).
Preset 1 (Basic Smooth) - load into the workspace by 14 clicks:
2 clicks - Turbo.
4 clicks - pulse indication of the battery .
5.5 clicks - load preset 2 (Advanced Smooth) into the workspace.
Main UI settings : ramping , with memory , without button
illumination, without beacon with button.
Preset brightness: Mode 3 ( Mid , 0.45 A ).
Preset 2 (Advanced Smooth):
2 clicks - Turbo .
2.5 clicks - also Turbo .
3 clicks - Strobe.
3.5 clicks - Lighthouse.
4 clicks - pulse indication of the battery .
4.5 clicks - Tactical mode (power-off output).
5 clicks - Backlight button.
5.5 clicks - load preset 3 (Advanced Discrete) into the workspace.
6 clicks - Lock button .
Main UI settings : ramping , with memory , with backlight , without
beacon.
Preset brightness: Mode 3 ( Mid , 0.45 A ).
Preset 3 (Advanced Discrete):
2 clicks - Turbo .
3 clicks - Strobe.
4 clicks - pulse indication of the battery.
4.5 clicks - Memory modes.
5 clicks - Backlight button.
5.5 clicks - load preset 1 (Basic Smooth) into the workspace.
Main UI settings : discrete , no memory, no backlight, no beacon.
Preset brightness: Mode 3 ( Mid , 0.45 A ).
Note that the presets are loaded into the workspace, and overwrite it.
Returning preset 0 can only be reset to the factory settings (12
clicks), or manually adjusting it (entry level 3). You can cycle through
these presets in a circle with 5 clicks + hold.
Local terminology: holding is equal to half a click, while clicking is
two actions: pressing, and then releasing no later than 0.5 seconds.
Therefore, on the diagrams such a sequence of blocks: Hold -> Click ->
Hold … Ie clicked - hold, if you managed to release - only now it is a
full click …
In ramping mode, the brightness setting logic changes somewhat:
[img]
Re-clamping the button, while adjusting the brightness - changes
direction. In this case, after releasing, it is necessary to sustain a
double timeout (1s) before the interface exits the brightness setting
mode. This allows you to fine-tune the brightness with short clicks, if
you missed, but does not allow you to instantly turn off the flashlight,
if you just adjusted the brightness.
Level 3
Here begins tin …
Why Unicorn ? Yes, because magic, bl * … A bottle of beer with him?
Ok, let's start:
[img]
A preset is a kind of save file, which indicates which clicks to call
for which functions, and there are also recorded the basic interface
settings (ramp / discrete, memory, backlight, beacon, button lock,
brightness). The lantern always uses the 0th preset, it is also the
worker. But from it, you can copy the information into three other
files, and then copy them back (recording and loading options). At the
same time, the working preset itself can be programmed (slot setting
mode), and all 4 presets can be reset to the factory (12 clicks).
Combinations of clicks under options are called slots, and there are a
total of 9:
Slots:
2 clicks - slot 1
2 clicks + hold - slot 2
3 clicks - slot 3
3 clicks + hold - slot 4
4 clicks - slot 5
4 clicks + hold - slot 6
5 clicks - slot 7
5 clicks + hold - slot 8
6 clicks - slot 9
In any slot (and even in several at once) you can place one of the
following options:
Options for slots options:
- Unchanged
- Empty
- Additional mode
- Turbo
- Strobe (12.5Hz 10ms)
- Battery indication
- Beacon main LED
- On tactical mode (off by disconnecting the battery)
- On / Off button lock
- On / off memory modes
- On / Off discrete brightness control
- On / Off button illumination
- On / off beacon backlit button
- Loading preset 1
- Loading preset 2
- Loading preset 3
How to use it all? To begin with, we need to remove the lamp from the
fuse - to tighten the battery cover with the button pressed. Flashlight
unlocks the "red" options. You can check it with 8 clicks - the button
should flash red. Now, we can, for example, configure slots in a working
preset. Let's shove in 6 clicks of preset 2 on / off the beacon
illuminated button, t. For example, it's more useful to us than a button
lock:
-
First, we need to load this 2nd preset into the workspace. This
makes
16 clicks, and we should observe a green flash indicator.
-
7 clicks + hold translate additional options into setup mode. We
click, we clamp, and we see the green flash of the indicator.
-
Now we can click on 6 clicks of interest to select this slot, and
again we will see a green flash of the indicator - the lamp waits for
the option number (it waits in sleep mode and for as long as you
like, so finish the beer - take your time). Red flash? So, tried to
choose a non-existing slot - try again …
-
We look at the option number under which we have the beacon with the
backlit button - option 13. We make 13 clicks and observe the green
flash of the indicator. Slot is programmed. Now we can customize the
rest. If we need to clear the slot so that there is nothing in it,
and the flashlight does not react to it in any way, we write "Empty"
to it (2). If we make a mistake when choosing a slot - 1 click (no
change) will not change anything, and will allow you to re-type the
desired slot. The indicator will flash red. You can also dial a
deliberately non-existent option (if you change your mind in the
process of typing, or lost count) - the result will be the same.
-
To exit the slot setting mode and be able to use them - make 8
clicks, and the indicator should flash red. You can immediately just
unscrew the battery cover, then the flashlight and from the
engineering menu will fly out at the same time. Just need to wait
until he goes to sleep, because only then does he write everything
into non-volatile memory. You can understand this point by
highlighting the button. It should either go out completely, or go
into the backlight mode off.
-
You can save this interface to one of the 3 available presets. For
example, in the 1st - 13th clicks + hold. Then you can play with the
workspace without worrying about losing the configured interface. In
addition, the 1st preset is available for direct download and outside
the engineering mode (not a direct one can be inserted into the slots
themselves, which is done "in the box").
Understood? And that's not all …
Calibration Thermocontrol:
Everything is simple. We heat the carcass to a comfortable temperature
(it is possible in the turbo, it is possible to warm up the autogenome -
to whom it is more convenient), and click 9 clicks + hold. Just make
sure the flashlight is in engineering mode now.
There is a calibration option for room temperature (25 ° C) - 20 clicks
- hold. But there are some peculiarities - this calibration is recorded
in the factory memory area, and will be valid when reset to the factory
settings. At the same time, the temperature threshold itself will be 50
° C.
Indicator:
With him, too, everything is simple:
Green - the battery is almost full (voltage above 3.8 V ).
Green + red - the average charge level (voltage above 3.5 V ).
Red - it's time to change (voltage below 3.5 V ).
The pulse indication of the battery has the following thresholds:
5 flashes - more than 4.06 V (80%)
4 flashes - more than 3.86 V (60%)
3 flashes - more than 3.7 V (40%)
2 flashes - more than 3.62 V (20%)
1 flash - Well, everything has come …
Features, all different
Features brightness settings:
Are common:
-
Adjustment works in turbo, strobe, main and additional modes.
-
Turbo and strobe always start with maximum brightness. Tactical
mode and Beacon use the brightness of the mode from which they were
turned on, or the default value from off. (0.5A). Main mode and
add. mode have their own memory.
-
Saving occurs automatically if memory is enabled.
-
When detecting DD (Direct-Drive) during the set of brightness - the
interface believes that it has rested against the ceiling.
-
If at the start of the setting the brightness is close to the
border - the direction changes immediately.
Smooth adjustment:
-
It changes by holding, the direction is switched by releasing and
re-holding. You can release the button up to 1s before the lamp
goes into "off" mode. This makes it easier to adjust the brightness
of the "microclicks".
-
If the brightness rests up or down for longer than 1s - after
releasing, nothing is saved and comes back (conveniently to turn on
the "turbo" by holding it without using the turbo function).
Discrete adjustment:
-
Increase by retention, decrease or autoreverse (see below), or
click + hold.
-
Brightness has only 5 levels (Moon-Low-Mid-Max-Turbo), switching at
intervals of 0.7 s.
-
When focusing on the boundaries - the flitter changes its direction
automatically (auto reverse).
Features turbo mode:
-
A click in the turbo mode returns to the previous mode.
-
Hold in turbo mode starts adjusting the brightness of the previous
mode from maximum (down), with automatic transition to it.
-
If the turbo is turned on from the off state of the flashlight -
the hold starts adjustment with the transition to the main mode (a
click turns off the flashlight).
-
From the turbo, you can immediately go to any slot, while click +
hold turns off the flashlight (because it is not a command to
return, adjust, and does not fall into one slot).
-
If you enter the turbo with a clamped button (even slots) and
continue to hold it - step 3 is automatically executed.
Slots features:
- The first two slots do not turn off the lamp automatically when
they are clicked. The others extinguish the flashlight before the
option is completed. This is necessary for a seamless transition in
all sorts of turbo and add. Modes usually located nearby.
