08/15/2021 | Sofirn has finished creating a prototype driver. The driver offers flashing pads to have direct access for a pogo pin adapter. Next step is to release two prototype flashlight samples to gchart and Tom E for full examination and testing, followed by a trial phase before ramping up mass production. gchart created a custom Andúril 2 hex-file to be used for SP10 Pro:
Lumen output as per gchart's prototype testing sample: (Actual numbers may vary in the final product and depend on the used battery and the emitter type/tint)
Current design:
The clip design is being discussed with Sofirn. Sofirn is checking for possible changes to make it fully captive and/or deep carry.

08/03/2021 | Sofirn will soon be able to source the new AVR-1 MCUs. Final line up is imminent. | ||||||||||||||||||
05/02/2021 | Awesome news! gchart built an SP10S driver using the ATtiny 1616-MNR MCU with dual chemistry / dual voltage support and Andúril 2. See video below for illustration. I will try to get more news from Sofirn after May Days holidays. | ||||||||||||||||||
04/25/2019 | Barry confirmed that Sofirn's engineering could redesign the driver. Andúril would then have to be adapted to work with the SP10S driver, e.g. there is no indicator switch LED in the SP10S. I have suggested the SP32A V2.0 switch LED design but we will see how feasible this is. So far no news about 1.2V - 1.5V (AA/NiMH) compatibility.
| ||||||||||||||||||
05/14/2019 | Currently, I'm in touch with Toykeeper, Barry and Kikkoman to help Sofirn developing an appropriate driver for the SP10S. As the SP10S driver uses a PIC12F1822 with limited memory it will be difficult but with some changes (e.g. ATtiny85) and a better boost converter we might get to see a new driver with Andúril and AA as well as 14500 support. | ||||||||||||||||||
05/17/2019 | Kikkoman has successfully transferred Andúril onto his experimental driver, using a more efficient TPS61021A boost converter. Further work on LVP, more efficiency and less standby drain is ongoing. Lexel, gchart, wight and Tom E as renowned driver experts have been invited to join and share their ideas and thoughts. |

How about a limited color option?
Edit: lol, I should have read it better. Clear anodizing sounds awesome.

I would be interested, but I already have two SP10B and don’t need anymore! I might be interested in the driver though, unless TK makes a version which works on the current driver then I would just flash it myself.
How does that side switch not activate in one's pocket?

And I wonder!
Eh I’m not really interested in this.
Why? Lack of AA compatibility here.
If this new light uses an Andurik driver, there is a very high chance it’ll be using a FET+1 driver, not a boost/FET driver.

Tbh from my sofirn lights, the Sp10 is my least favorite. The output is extremely low. Specially compared to the tool AA and Wuben E05
Attiny MCU and AA Voltage wont work without a separate boost powering the MCU, which would make likely a way too high standby drain
not sure how the original driver handles this
they may write a firmware close to Anduril on another MCU, but it wont be any real Arnduril

Particularly if it can be done with minimal standby/parasitic drain.
On the light side.
Here we go again… AA won’t happen with Andruil, like it didn’t with the Micro GT.
It’s a shame, because AA compatibility is a good thing, but hey if you’re a flashaolic you have some 14500 laying around, no ?

Interested in 1 even if it’s 14500 only but if they manage to get it to run Anduril from 1 AA NiMH I’ll be in for 3-4!
The micro gt was so disappointing I didn’t even buy 1. Whatever ends up happening I hope they don’t list AA in the specs / manual only to change it last minute…
