Fireflies ROT66 Flashlight

Do you mean the moonlight level that you turn on from the off position?

It should be set to 3 out of 7. This can be changed to a 4, 5, 6 or 7 to make it brighter.

Or do you mean the lowest part of the ramp? This can not be changed in NarsilM.

Try my video about changing the menu settings.

If your in ramping, you go into the menu (this might require 8 seconds or 16 seconds), wait for 2 fast and 2 slow blinks, then click maybe 5 or 6 times. Make sure they are fast clicks and you see the confirmation blink with each button press. Then let it exit the menu on its own.

Thats scary… which state do you live?

Thanks, it works the moonlight is 2 steps higher…. only i dont get the strobe mode anymore….i did something wronge

Thanks, i think so on the FF its way to thin …

Thanks for the Daytime shot Newlumen, I just saw the edit where you added it. :+1:

No, that one is not the same it appears; the threads are different. See below………

That is very odd. Which firmware is on it?

It’s a Nichia model from Freeme’s group buy.

I just checked the manual and it says “NarsilM Version 1.2 code designed by Toykeeper & Tom-E”

It’s weird that it mentions me, since Tom wrote about 99% of it.

Anyway, I am not aware of any bugs which would cause NarsilM to turn itself on, but I don’t really know enough about it to say a bug doesn’t exist. The closest thing I saw was a thermal management bug in a fork of Narsil, where if it was hot and then was turned off, with just the wrong timing, it could try to “step down” from off to whatever level would have been next in the step-down sequence. But usually it wouldn’t happen while off; it would happen next time the light was turned on, which could be an unpleasant surprise if it was at moon level the next time.

But I don’t know if that’s even possible in NarsilM 1.2. It could just be that something made it think the button was pressed.

Yeah the weirder thing is prior to this it had been sitting on the same shelf without being used for about a week.

Do you think it could a hardware problem with the switch? I don’t know if that’s even possible with an e-switch.

If something made the switch close for a moment, then yes, it would turn on… it’s just odd for that to happen while it’s sitting unused on a shelf.

The time window for weird firmware behavior is only a few seconds. Certainly less than a minute. If it acted up more than a minute after being touched, it’s most likely a hardware issue, not firmware.

I had a similar experience a while ago with my first firmware for momentary switches. The light sometimes turned on when my hand came close. I suspected spikes caused by static electricity which triggered the interrupt on the port where the switch is connected to. So I added debouncing code after wakeup which actually cured this problem:

delay_250_micro_sec(80);

if ( ! T_MOMENTARY_PRESSED )
goto OFF;

Darn…. maybe it is “possessed!! :open_mouth:
Or your house is haunted. :open_mouth: . :open_mouth:
Or someone is playing a trick on you & messing with your mind. :frowning: . . :smiley:

NarsilM has some de-bouncing. Instead of using the pin change interrupt, it polls the switch on each WDT tick. This avoids most of the noise. Then it requires a steady state for at least N ticks before considering the button state changed. However, it looks like the duration is only 1 tick for button press (activates on first cycle), and 4 ticks for button release, using only one measurement per tick… so it could possibly trigger if the timing lined up exactly wrong.

Anduril has a different style of de-bouncing, because two of its hardware targets have very noisy switches — FW3A and lightsabers. The lightsaber switches in particular bounce for a really long time. At first it used the pin change interrupt, but that proved too noisy even with pretty strong debouncing, so now it polls via WDT. But when it polls, it waits for 32 consecutive identical values measured about 0.063 ms apart (stable for 2 ms). This seems to work pretty well even on the noisiest switches I’ve tried.

My dad was a mechanic and our neighbor bought an early VW, which he bragged about its good mileage incessantly.
My dad snuck out every other night for a few weeks and would pour some gas into the lil uberbug. (gas was way cheaper then)

Well, the guy was gushing ’n raving at his phenomenal mileage.

Until dad stopped doing it. :smiling_imp:

Actually, i’m pretty happy with the thermals of my 219b version. Depending on the ambient temperature, I can get a bit above or below the max 7135 level without being uncomfortable to hold. That’s a pretty usable level; i think i’ll be using it a lot at that level.

TK gave me a good idea that actually hadn’t occured to me. I set the stepped ramp to have two modes, one at 65 and one at 115, so that I can quickly set it to exactly 1x7135 or max 7135, and then turn it back to regular ramping mode after. (It does go to 1x7135 when you unscrew and rescrew the batteries, but this is faster.)

:smiley: . :smiley: I LOVE IT!! . :+1:

We did that to a guy with a new Chevy truck years ago. His “bragging” was annoying to say the least.

When it really gets good is after a few weeks of getting him up to unheard of phenomenal mileage…… start siphoning gasoline out for a few weeks.

After getting the guy down to unheard of pitifully low mileage he was almost on the verge of a mental breakdown. He was besides himself…… :smiley: :smiley:

It cured his overbearing bragging forever though…. at work anyway. :wink:

Video for turning strobes on and off.

Just do 3 clicks to turn all strobes on.

Yeah spaceminions, I hear ya’. :smiley:

This was around 40 years ago though when mileage in a truck was nothing near 20 mpg in the first place. Plus… the guy I’m speaking of was basically just an obnoxious braggart…. about pretty much anything he owned. His was always better than yours kind of guy. :person_facepalming:
He was not the sharpest pencil in the box either, somewhat gullible too.

Oddly… he was a bit more ‘humble’ after this though. :smiley:

He was never told about it either. :smiley: :smiley:

IIRC we got him up to about 41 mpg and down to about 3 mpg over the course of many weeks. The dealership thought he was a nut case…. cause he told the story to them. :wink:

Oh yeah… he even got a locking gas cap during this time. It didn’t bother us at all. One of our close friends was locksmith…. we just had him come over one night & make us a key to the gas cap.

Good times & good memories…… :slight_smile:
