Right now its the cost too of USB-C interfsce because its such a new option. see how it goes with the driver designers for this project, both Toykeeper & DEL may be able ot answer that better for you.
Can you explain candle mode? If it’s a flickering light pretending to be a candle, it’s really annoying and shouldn’t be part of a lantern.
How’s the price difference between an USB-C socket against an microUSB socket? USB protocoll doesn’t change with that.
Is QC or PD planned to be used and wt which current can be charged?
How about using dual USB socket (USB-C & microUSB), so that the lantern will be usable even in 10 years without adapter?
What are the current plans and planned options for color temperature and red light mode?
The Q-team, after half a year, just got a mail from Barry (our contact at Thorfire for the Q8) asking if they can do additional stuff for the Q8. In other words, Barry got out of hibernation and has his hands free to do new development work. Shall I ask him about doing the lantern, or do you already have contact with him or someone else at Thorfire?
It is a bit windy around that candle :partying_face: Did you consider a more calmed down version?, I think I would use it for more than just showing off if it was calmer. (or you could add a windforce ramp to the candle-mode! )
TK’s Andúril UI is amazing. I have it running on several Q8s, an EagleEye X6R, and an Emisar D4, D1, and D1S.
I burn a Q8 in candle mode quite often with a warm diffuser. It’s quite realistic in person, and even has brightness adjustment to go from candle to torch.
It’s random. :+1:
TK has also mentioned adding a ‘sleep timer’ to candle mode. I can’t wait!
That, is cool. One of the most realistic ones I’ve seen. Only possible addition I could see would be a circle of smaller LED’s around the main one to help simulate flame deflection.
