No, did you read the manual? Tells you how to access all that stuff in mode set operation - I ain't repeating it here
Ohh - the mode set #8 problem... I can't see any problem there, least in the code. I'll test it on a Q8 proto I have here w/NarsilM later, though it's not the same options you have, Q8 is 1S, not 2S. I don't have a NarsilM v1.0 2S light with me at work.
For the issue of several clicks to turn the light on, I dunno. I have to re-read your description.
Are you certain it's NarsilM v1.0 you are running, that Lexel setup for you? I'm confused about all this...
Edit: Ooops!!
Ok, I see the problem with mode set #8: a 3 channel configuration uses a different set of modes. Only 8 sets of modes are defined, not 12, and mode set #8 should be 2 modes only:
- max of all 7135's (single and bank channels)
- Max FET
So what you are seeing is correct for what it's defined as. I never got around to filling up all compatible 12 sets of modes for triple channel configurations. I'll need to document it this way some where. I'll update the OP for now to mention it.
Also, to explain the modes:
- mode percentages are roughly based on 1,500 lumens being 100%, typical XM-L2 type of LED, near full battery, moderate resistance reductions
- The single 7135 is assumed to be 150 lumens which is 10%
- if I rated a mode at like 40%, I was assuming 30% of the FET is used, and the 7135 at max (30% + 10% is 40%)
- 2S setups are roughly double that. For example on my MT03 running 2S and triple XHP70.2's, one 7135 at max is about 320 lumens. A single XHP70 should be roughly 300 lumens.
- of course the modes will work with any LED compatible to the driver, so an XP-E2 for example might max out at 600 lumens on the full FET, while a 4X XP-L2 SRK is ~6,000 lumens max, so the percentages kind of lose their meaning. This is the problem of rating output percentages based on 1 or 2 channels that are fixed in amps, and another channel that is basically wide open, where output depends on LED's, batteries, driver, and resistance in the full circuit.
