Please put me on the list for a second light (so 2 in total).
The grey anodised version looks awesome and reminds me so much of Peter Gransee’s ARC4 flashlight circa 2004 (actually designed by HDS Systems)… I remember waiting with baited breath for that one as well!
Actually, if you look at the specs, there was much in the ARC4 that we see today - microprocessor control, fully regulated, user selectable brightness levels - all that and a vast 30 lumens for just a couple of hundred bucks - well, it was 15 years ago!
Huge thanks to the FW3A team and especially to TK for making this all possible, otherwise we’d still be stuck back in 2004….
By the way, separate from all the insistent noise in this thread, quite a few of us are just quietly but regularly checking in on the thread, keeping patient. We appreciate all who have put in efforts to bring this project to fruition.
I heard a little bit more about that. It seems the driver wasn’t flashed correctly. After reflashing it, apparently it worked fine.
Also, I sent a new version which I hope will be used. I think that might be what proto4 has now, but I’m not sure. Not much changed, but there is at least one user-visible improvement — double-click from off no longer turns off before going to the ceiling level.
It seems I need to stop procrastinating and update the UI diagram so it won’t require color. When printed on a black-and-white printer, it can be hard to tell the difference between single clicks and double clicks.
