This may but be a huge thing to many, but I finally got around to setting up an Anduril build environment yesterday. An Ubuntu VM running on Windows. I downloaded TK’s repository, and started figuring out how to use it. I couldn’t find any guides, so I just winged it, downloading dependencies as they came up.
After some time, I got a basic standard Q8 hex to build! I was ecstatic! I started fiddling with the settings, and managed to add/remove features with ease. Even figured out how to change the rythm of the new fancy button blink with a hint from TK herself. I was super stoked. I had put a few hours in tinkering around, and decided to take a break.
Then later, I knew what I wanted to do. After modding me and my buddies H03s with a Lexel TA driver last year, we wanted Anduril, but a 3 channel + aux LED version hadn’t been built yet. Zeroflow was kind enough to build me one, and gave me the documentation and modded build files of I ever wanted to try it myself.
I wanted to try it myself, to get the new fancy button blinking on my H03.
I spent about 2 hours trying to make it work. A few things have changed in the Anduril code since then, so while I could see what Zeroflow did in the old code, matching it in the new code was difficult for me. And many edits to several build files, and fruitlessly searching the forum for information on where the heck “#define USE_STEPPED_RAMPING” went, I decided to try building it anyway and just leave it in. Last year, we couldn’t leave it in because there wasn’t enough room with the extra channel added. But with the new code, it worked! It built, and it flashed, and here it is working:
So that is my latest modding story. I know I’ve got a long way to go, and more to learn about how all this Anduril code works, but I’m making progress! And I’m extremely happy!
Thanks to everyone here for all your hard work! None of this would be possible without all of you. I really appreciate you all.
