*BLF LT1 Lantern Project) (updated Nov,17,2020)

How about no delay, make it like hitting the snooze button on the alarm, function being “wake me up gently” ramping up slowly from moonlight to full brightness over 5 to 10 minutes. If this were accessible with one button press after running sunset mode it might be a nice option.

:+1:

update:
2-channel MCPCB designed. Here is the basic design of the 2-channel MCPCB for the lantern for the 3000K ~ 5000K ( or 2700K ~ 5000K LED emitters) to work for the tint ramping. After some tests, i found that having the different color temp LED pads in-line with each other linear from the center post/tube, created the smoothest tint mixing beam pattern. (*Red ring is the white center tube that covers the wires and the center bolt) two other black holes are for screws to mount the MCPCB to the lantern head.
(open to conversation.)

Looks good! Have you got this made in PCB design software or just a MSPaint rendering? :smiley:

I still don’t see my name in the list.

just with photoshop after a couple drinks of rum :sunglasses:

can add you as 893 if your not on the list, (sbslider can check on that as he has been updating the list)

DBSAR, thanks! I definitely want one.

Interested.

The list in the OP only gets updated periodically. I also maintain the “master” list which gets updated everytime I reply to an interest post. Sometimes it gets updated before I reply to an interest post. The master list has to ways to look at the data.

interest list sorted by entry number

interest list sorted by user names

You are definitely on the list, and if you can view the google doc links you can see it for yourself. If you can’t view the links, then you will just have to trust me until the OP gets updated.

geetee03 has interest list number 893.

I will add the interest list sorted by user name at times has the last few entries on the end not sorted, as that is a manual step I do periodically. geetee03 is last on that list until I sort again.

Awesome, glad I’m on the list! Thanks for clarifying.

Your MCPCB looks fine, I can’t find any reason why it shouldn’t work, but what are your final thoughts about the charging solution before we skip to the next topic?
And could toykeeper please make a short overview about the modes and funktions that are already implemented or planned before we talk about adding new ones? (Do we even have memory left ?)

some information here

Interested.

Plus tint ramping, probably on “click, click, hold” in almost any mode.

The charging option is defintiely a planned part, but will have to leave that in more capable hands.

I can’t see it in that diagram if “stepped” modes are an option instead of ramping, ( such as set mode groups as moonlight-low-medium-hight)

Yes, the “stepped ramp” is a mode group, like moon-low-medium-high or whatever the user configures it to do.

The actual button presses involved are the same as the smooth ramp, so… click for on/off, hold to change brightness. But it uses a user-defined mode group. The result is very similar to an Olight Baton interface.

Ah ok nice :slight_smile:

Common negative? I am surprised based upon how all of the other drivers are designed
