Emisar D4S review

I’m just catching up with the D4 . Now this comes along! :money_mouth_face:

Where do I sign up for group buy ? :smiley:

:laughing:

:laughing: Hahahaha! This post made my morning! So true.

I think a lot of us have “black flashlight burnout”. With today’s technology they could make them in any color scheme they want.

Wow, isn´t this just great AND with the AUX leds!! :+1: :+1:

Made my one AUX led in my D4 today :smiley:

It looks lonely. :slight_smile:

Anyway, there should already be aux LED support in FSM / Anduril. It basically works the same as a lighted button LED, but it stays off while the main emitters are on. To enable it, define USE_INDICATOR_LED but make sure not to define USE_INDICATOR_LED_WHILE_RAMPING. And if you want the blinking-while-off feature, also enable TICK_DURING_STANDBY.

I think the D4S UI code is probably final at this point, so I’ll add that to the repository soon. But the underlying plumbing, at least, is already published.

Nice! Welcome to the club! :+1:

JUST TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY!!! :+1: :smiley:

Goshdogit edited the firmware for me to power off indicator led when ramping. This is the version without blinking feature.

Lexel can you make an AUX board where half of the leds light above 3,5V and if voltage drobs below that it switch to the other branch and with different color I see what battery charge I have roughly without touching the light.

:smiley:

A while back, I made firmware for a lighted tailcap board which did something like that, but I never actually built one. I could probably make it work better now, though it does still involve having an MCU and I’m not sure there would be enough room on the board.

It basically did a 6-color pattern with R/G/B emitters. It’d spin like a roulette wheel for a moment while measuring voltage, then settle on the appropriate color to indicate charge, and then either stay there or go dim or turn off with an occasional colored blink matching the current voltage. I’d imagine it should work pretty much the same on a front-facing board.

maybe Close Encounters tones/colors?

Nice idea. But If you do the easy way I-m really happy with two colors to determine if I’m above or under about 3,5-3,7V.
I recharge my batteries if they are under 3,7V

I recall passive voltage indicator methods, like different resistors for different color LEDs, were attempted… but they didn’t work very well or very consistently. So I went for a more active solution, using an attiny13 to measure voltage and explicitly turn LEDs on/off accordingly. The scale was red for the lowest voltage, then yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple for totally full. Basically just a 6-step rainbow.

And the emitters were arranged in a circle so it would spin while going through the colors in order. Because bling.

Wow, wow, wow!!

Finally a 26650 quad!!

Any battery suggestions?
Flat or Button top?
High Amp but how high?
Manufacturers recommended and ones to avoid?
Max dimensions?
Assume not protected…
Thanks,

edit: prices back to normal, somehow my browser had probably switched to Australian dollars (exactly 35% more) and then switched back on its own

Intl-outdoor just increased the prices for all the flashlights and accessories +35% :frowning:

Also the original before prices were “fixed”.

Left new, right original:

edit: using a German VPN gives me the old prices

Noooooooo :weary:

Now the prices are back down for me as well. Thank god.
