Thanks — mine should be here early next week.
First time i tried 4 clicks i got to lockout but i dont know how i got out of it.
Now i cant repeat the lockout as it now gives me momentary at its highest brightness.
And yes, double cluck from on or off gives turbo.
I turned it off at its highest then turned it back on and it goes to lowest.
Maybe im doing something wrong.
Assuming memory is turned on, just ramp it up to where you want and turn it off.
If you are at the lowest, for example, then double click to get turbo, then turn off. It will have the lowest memorized. So try ramping it to where you want.
How do you get into memory mode?
I’m not sure memory is turned on by default. The narsil cheat sheet posted earlier says it’s turned off by default at least for “modes”.
Maybe I turned memory on for my light? I can’t remember.
Memory is a setting you can turn on and off depending on whether you want it to have memory.
On my light I hold the button for 8 seconds and it does the fast double, then 1 blink, pause, etc…
When it gets to double, then 5 blinks I click the button twice. It will blink twice to confirm, (on setting 5, 1 click is disable and 2 clicks is enable and it shows 1 is default) then you can let it finish going through the rest of the menu.
I avoided the complex UI’s for a long time because my memory is so bad. With over 100 lights, it’s difficult to remember which has which UI. But of course now I have Narsil and Bistro and Biscotti and Guppydrv and the Nitecore mismash and and and…. I try to download pdf owners manuals and UI guides so I can refresh my memory if I am using a light that’s tricking me. The cheat sheet is a good idea, if I can remember it’s under the tail cap. lol
I love ramping, so I haven’t changed my Narsil light to date.
Ahhhhh…got to give it a break….the 8 click thing does not work on my lights.
Here is the cheatsheet again for this page.
I think you mean click and hold for 8 seconds to get into the menu.
I hear ya.
I try to take pictures of the pdf and keep it on my phone. That way I always have it.
On my L6 with Narsil I tried out the modes, but ramping is way better. The only thing I remember trying to change in the menu was to turn off all strobes. Unfortunately you can’t when using ramping, it’s a glitch. No big deal though.
I got my driver from Lexel, so he must have set my memory to “enable”. I don’t remember doing it.
I forgot what thread I was on. I didn’t post my video here. Check it out. This shows some narsil basics.
I plan to make a video showing the menu setup, but haven’t had time yet.
I’ve changed all my lights to ramping UI. I like to put in a reference blink at a particular duty cycle that corresponds to ~1 hour runtime. I find just that one reference helps a lot in knowing how much power you are using.
That is easier said than done.
I just want to wave a magic wand over all my lights to switch them to ramping. Lol
True. You have to take the plunge and learn to compile and flash FW. I use Toykeeper’s Crescendo FW for clicky switch lights and her e-switch ramping FW for the others. I haven’t tried Tom E.’s narsil yet, but I might buy one of these little quad hotrods.
Just wanted to say thanks to RMM for another pleasant transaction. Another order placed on a monday delivered on friday. Looking forward to installing the xhp70.2 and seeing how it compares to the now deceased xhp70 it will replace.
The xhp70 failed due to impatience. After reflowing it to a maxtoch 32mm board and assembling the light I neglected to clean the dome. At about 2 1/2 minutes in turbo mode a stream of smoke and black spot appeared. :person_facepalming:
Best excuse to upgrade to newer LED! :smiling_imp:
For everyone with questions about the new Emisar D4, I have answers:
The firmware is not Narsil. It’s similar, and it’s based on Narsil, but there are some significant differences.
