Turning off the turbo timer on the BLF-A6 requires flashing modded code onto the driver. The code is available, but it needs about $10 or $20 worth of other hardware for the flashing process.
I still think for that specific light, your firmware is just about perfect. If that light is putting out 1500 or 1600 lumens and is triggered by accident in your pocket, 30 seconds step is very much appreciated. Fun fact: my mother in-law saw my a6 sitting on the coffee table and turned it on and didn’t see any light so clicked it on off, then looked into the end of it and clicked it again. That was honestly a slow motion train wreck that I had no intention of stopping. Priceless!!
Thanks TK, I love Bistro but the blf a6 and associated mother in-law stunning will forever hold a place in my hall of fame!
lool so true, if i remembered correctly BLF A6 uses attiny13 right so bistro should fit right in?
also got convoy S+ can i put BLF A6/Bistro on in too, i dont like the 3 modes on this flashlight.
I did that to my sister with an Astrolux S41S. I was wearing it on my belt, she was curious about it, so I handed it over. Never even thought about what would happen next.
Bistro requires tiny25/45/85, and won’t fit on a tiny13.
BLF-A6 works on tiny13 drivers but requires an offtime capacitor (OTC), and prefers two power channels.
Biscotti works on single-channel tiny13 drivers like Convoy uses (nanjg/qlite/FX-12), with no extra hardware. There are also a bunch of others which work on Convoy drivers, like gchart’s “babka” and _the_’s “TheStar”.
The “INDEX” file in the firmware repository has more detailed information on all this.
