Then take your time and let the lights cycle through all of it
Its similar to Bistro, just when you see in Bistro a buzz to do a half press to enter, now click sideswitch 2 times to choose option 2 or 3 times for option 3
I’ll try it out. I’ll let it go until I see 7 flashes then click once. Hopefully that works. Once I get the hang of it I’ll do a video so others know what to expect.
Sadly, I don’t have a light with Bistro. I know, I know. I’m probably the only person left who doesn’t. :cry:
Alright, I think I figured out the config mode, but it’s not working.
I ignore the first 2 blinks then count out the rest. When it gets to 7 normal blinks I press the button once and the light comes on once. Then I get the 4 or 5 flashes saying it’s finished.
The problem is I still have strobes and biking flashes, etc…
Here is the setting sheet for Narsil v1.1 and v1.2.
It shows that number 7 is for the blinkies and that 1 click should disable them. I’m not sure why it’s not working.
The first couple times I did my single click after 7 blinks I got a confirmation blink. A few times I didnt. Once it took 2 clicks to get a single confirmation blink.
Hmmm, it’s possible my lighted side switch is interfering with the signal. DBCustom has a different driver and his lighted side switch was interfering with basic operation like ramping up and down. He swapped his 50k resistor with a 75K and it started working fine. I’m using a 15k, so I’m gonna try upping my resistor size and see if that works.
I looked further in this flashing a driver with v1.2 and can confirm this bug, its also the same in v1.4 I used no indicator or power LED on this driver its a problem with the firmware
Which narsil operation instruction manual should we be using. On one of my 21mm 1S Narsil boards that is running Narsil 1.4. I couldn’t find 1.4 instructions so I printed out v1.3a instructions. But I found v1.1 instructions fit better, but not perfect.
edit: Ok I found the manual for v1.3 That seems to match up. I got my Indicator LED working in my skilhunt H03. But when I toggle on Locator LED feature it doesn’t stay on when the light is off. Am I missing something? Is the Locator LED feature for a separate physical LED from the indicator LED, maybe for the tail switch?
Rep+ for Lexel, the drivers are at my house few days already. Everything went so smooth, from start to finish.
The first to find its home was the D01 driver, all was fine until small mishap that shorted something and messed up the driver. Im still trying to troubleshot what went wrong, Lexel was very informative so i hope that there is chance for this one to work as intended again.
Today i installed the second driver into the L6 (i had different plans and didn’t wanted to mod the light until i get the XHP50.2 and the SMO reflector but i am impatient) and i am impressed, the L6 is so cool with the ramping and all those fancy things narsil has.
I did some quick tests with green Efest 26650’s 4200mAh and i got these numbers:
Lumens estimate 5700 at start, 5400 at 30 sec; 120kcd
11.5A delivered to the LED with batteries at 4.19V
Interesting thing is that even with Samsung 25R @ 3.45V (times 2 of course) the light is brighter than stock, at that point the led was getting 5.4A, 400mA more than stock. I did not tested with my Efest 4200mAh 26650’s, was to lazy to drain them to that level but it is good to know that even with almost drained batteries it will maintain good brightness.
After installing the driver in my Courui D01, doing 20 awg spring bupasses, swapping in an xm-l2 u3 3d emitter, and sanding down the centering ring I have started to like it a lot more. Pleasant surprise to find that the tailboard had holes and pads just the right size and location to accommodate the wires. I need to do more adjustment to the reflector to focus the beam better but I’m confident I can get it to a point where I’ll be satisfied with it. I did have a bit of a problem initially and the light wouldn’t work. The problem was due to a wire partially broken at the switch. Once I re-soldered the wires it worked great. :+1: Nice driver. Thank you.
As posted previously I had installed the driver with the infineon fet (60°c step-down) in my Courui D01 (bypassed springs xml2 u3 3d). Sometimes I use a flashlight rather than an overhead or nightstand light and decided to use the courui. With 3x freashly charged 30Q tailstsanding and in turbo mode after more than 20 minutes the light’s head was warm but not uncomfortably so and it had not stepped down. I was surprised that it seems to dissipate heat so effectively. Just thought it was worthy of comment.
