NarsilM - configurable e-switch firmware for Multi channels, v1.3

Clever. That is a great idea!

I have a question about the stepped ramp for Anduril.

Is it linearly spaced (numbers percentage) or more like the visual brightness spacing (like in the BLF A6 which has evenly-spaced modes, which I believe were adjusted manually) ?

This thread is for NarsilM, but there is an answer in another thread:

Does the GT version hex file drive 2 PWM channels in tandem or is there a difference between the two channels? Twp pins individually produce moonlight and appear to ramp fully from low to high, tubo, etc. Are both channels producing the same PWM signal? If not, what is the difference between the 2 channels?

Separately, really love NarilM. So much genius in it.

The GT driver has one pin to control the constant current circuit’s current level, and one pin to turn it on and off. For the top 90% of its power range, it’s set to “on” (255/255) while varying the power level. For the bottom 10, it’s PWM’d at 10 power.

Thank you TK. Very good info. Was looking at the circuit for the GT driver just a bit ago and saw both pins feeding the buck converter. One via a voltage divider with a cap and the other directly connected. Might be able to use the hex file for a FET only driver for the time being. Having trouble building a solution on my own and want to move on with the build.

I have recently translated Sofirn's manual for the new SP36 into German language. This flashlight comes with NarsilM 1.2. Since more and more native speakers ask for a German version I thought it might be good idea to share the translation of NarsilM here and on TLF (German flashlight forum). Sofirn agreed upon this plan, too. Before actually releasing it to the community - are there any constraints like copyright, licensing agreements etc. I need to consider. What would be the best format to share it? I could provide it directly into this or a new thread or I could also provide a link to a pdf-file.

Let me know what you think. :-)

Cheers,

With NarsilM on the Lumintop GT Micro, is there a way to leave the e-switch locator led on while the main LED is on? It can be hard to find in the dark.

Sorry, no unfortunately. I really wanted to get it implemented as a feature though. My GT Micro's switch LED is pretty dull though - not sure how well it would show up with the main LED on.

What is the latest version of Narsil?

Where can it be downloaded?

Still V1.3 - I've still be using it often.

I just posted my latest v1.3 source code here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1i42GnkD6LBvxEK3_fiZVdrZsFkNuLZsU

Let me know if you can access it ok. If you are used to building NarsilM, I got a ton of Setups.h files that Iv'e used. You have to carefully go thru things and make sure you pick a proper setup config to use, then tweak as you like. Please check the Rev History.txt file carefully for the most recent changes.

Thanks Tom, got a message about a network error but it downloaded fine.

Thanks, Tom!

It’s pretty stellar UI.

Thanks. I updated the copy in my repository to this version.

Was just reading random parts of the message thread and came across this. Is there some already some Olight S-Mini clone with e-switch firmware?

There is Olight S1 clone with e-switch firmware, but not S-Mini.

Hey hey people

Just got my Astrolux FT03 today - the end of the ramping is not the maximum brightness - but I don’t want to have a turbo-mode, I want that light to ramp up to it’s full power like I can with Anduril.
Since this is my first NarsilM driver - is it possible, too?
didn’t find it in the manual though

Thanks!

No you can’t change ramping floor and ceiling in Narsil

OK thanks.
