So we’re going to need new mpcb’s? Now that we got a need for 1000+ pieces we might get a better price from other companies. If they offered $8 for 50 pieces how much would it be for 1000+?
On mine the loose layer at the edge seems to be only the solder mask (but there is no electrical copper in that area). The interior ‘bubble’ closer to the black wire may include copper, but I am not sure.
AFAIK these boards are fabricated by laminating the various layers together. Between each set of layers there is a layer of adhesive and it seems this adhesive failed.
I don’t know if this is what you mean, but in the Narsil reference manual, in the advanced configuration section at the end of the manual, one has the option of disabling the button LED.
Hank, I don’t have a huge amount of experience with lights, but the Narsil programming is pretty fantastic. It gives the user the most control of any light that I’ve ever seen. Most programs for lights give far less control or no control at all.
I think you’ll be happy with what you can do with the UI.
can do a lockout, and when it's locked out, the Ind. is OFF - I thought that made the most sense for most common usage (4X clicks in ramping to lockout, other way in mode sets)
can also use a quick shortcut to disable the Ind. LED when the light is OFF, in both ramping and mode set operation (ramping: press&hold til the light goes on in moon, quickly release)
can also disable it completely in the configuration settings
I knew this would be a wanted feature so put in a lot of support for it.
Tom E posted the below back in #7351. His numbers are a bit different from what DEL found, but there is certainly little danger of parasitic drain rendering the light useless in time of need…. even if the user is just halfway paying attention to their light every few years. …
