Whoa, wait! The “XX” is the whatever flavor indicator insertion you have, not a cheap knockoff. Like they do for 2X700 battery size listings.
The “appeal” part, is the less sting of the pocket for replacement of losing or damage, compared to the price tag and lottery luck needed for those high end lights.
Interesting. It runs a version of Bistro, modified so the 7135 channel drives color emitters separately from the FET channel, which drives white emitters. In practice, it’s basically Bistro except the lowest mode or two is a color instead of white. I should probably contact Recon1/Deadwood to let them know how free software works, since they don’t appear to be following the license terms (need to provide source code, or at least a link to it). This is pretty normal for anyone who is new to this sort of thing though, and I have a fill-in-the-blanks letter I can send about it.

Okay, sent. I hope the sales address gets to the right person.
Yes, and I’ve already worked things out with CWF and RMM. CWF even sent me a nice purple Dragon S2+ with green LEDs, just because he wanted to be nice. I’m not previously familiar with Recon1 or Deadwood Custom Works though, and the license applies to anyone who distributes the code — including when used inside a product they sell.
This sort of thing happens all the time, is easy to resolve, and typically isn’t a big deal. It’s just interesting stumbling across my code in places I didn’t know about.
