Thanks to the above responses.
I was able to flash the BLF Q8 from stock NarsilM v1.0 to NarsilM v1.2 (check version will now blink v1.2). Then I also flashed to Anduril (thanks for the link).
The command I used for flashing to Anduril, I copied from here:
âavrdude -c usbasp -p t85 -u -U lfuse:w:0xe2:m -U hfuse:w:0xdf:m -U efuse:w:0xff:m -Uflash:w:anduril-q8-2017-11-08.hexâ
(I changed the hex file name to the correct name)
In the above message thread, Tom E says:
âThe 0xde vs. 0xdf does make a difference â
0xdf is Not Recommended. It disables Brown Out Detection.â
I wonder what is âBrown Out Detectionâ? Also, since I just copied and pasted the command line above, I used the â0xdfâ which is supposed ânot recommendedâ.
Do I need to reflash Anduril on the BLF Q8 using â0xdeâ which is recommended by Tom E?

So far, Iâm still trying to figure out Andurilâs usage (lots of options⊠but then again I also havenât tried out all the tons of options in the stock BLF Q8 firmware; just that the Anduril âspecial strobe modesâ look more interesting.)
I do have a question regarding the âthermal control/tempcheck modeâ for Anduril on the BLF Q8 (I used the 2018-07-01 BLF Q8 Anduril hex file)
âTempcheck mode:
* 1 click: off
* 2 clicks: battcheck mode
* 4 clicks: thermal config mode
- Hold: thermal calibration mode
Thermal config mode:
* Setting 1: calibrate sensor:
At buzz, click N times for N degrees C. For example, if the light
is current at âroom temperatureâ of 22 C, click 22 times. Is
intended to only be done once upon initial setup, or not at all.
* Setting 2: temperature limit:
At buzz, click N times to set thermal limit to roughly 30 C + N.
Thermal calibration mode:
- Hold until hot: set new ceiling value
- ⊠donât hold: blink out current ceiling value and exitâ
So when I got to TempCheck mode, 4-clicks gets me to âthermal configâ mode. I notice 2 buzzes, so that corresponds to the âCalibrate sensorâ and the set âTemperature Limitâ.
However, while in TempCheck mode, I also tried HOLDing the button to get into Thermal Calibration mode. But the flashlight does not seem to be doing anything
(Iâve tried it Temperature Calibration on other firmwares, namely: Bistro (Astrolux S2) and NarsilM (Emisar D4), which will put the flashlight in Turbo, and just hold down the button until itâs too hot, then release the button.)
However, when I HOLD down the button while the BLF Q8 (Anduril) is in TempCheck mode, the flashlight does not seem to go into Turbo mode, so itâs not getting hot. What could be the issue and how do I set Thermal Calibration?
