Donno if this is appropriate here, but having recently acquired a Q8, I believe
Sofirn and BLF should consider having a re-charging plug onboard the Q8.
Eliminating disassembly to charge the batteries would be a great plus, with
Less wear and tear to boot.
A quick and dirty convenience, with a stellar light.
Good news Barry. I myself have become a Anduril fan and have been tweaking it and loading it on Q8's. I've made some tweaks, like adding voltage calibration. It calibrates the same way as temperature calibration works. We have found variations of voltage readings from unit to unit.
Can you tell me if the driver is still the same? Is it a new design, using the Atmel 1634?
The statement: Integrated power indicator in side switch indicates remaining battery power
Indicates something changed, perhaps? How does that work, exactly?
If the driver was redesigned to using the 1634 MCU, then using an external voltage divider circuit would work much better -- it's more accurate unit to unit.
Is this Anduril Q8 using a custom configured version of Anduril specifically for the Q8?
ToyKeeper has special Q8 configuration files to support the Q8, tailored for the Q8. If you got the Anduril Q8 firmware from TK for the Q8, then she probably gave you the correct version.
