I have recently translated Sofirn's manual for the new SP36 into German language. This flashlight comes with NarsilM 1.2. Since more and more native speakers ask for a German version I thought it might be good idea to share the translation of NarsilM here and on TLF (German flashlight forum). Sofirn agreed upon this plan, too. Before actually releasing it to the community - are there any constraints like copyright, licensing agreements etc. I need to consider. What would be the best format to share it? I could provide it directly into this or a new thread or I could also provide a link to a pdf-file.
With NarsilM on the Lumintop GT Micro, is there a way to leave the e-switch locator led on while the main LED is on? It can be hard to find in the dark.
Sorry, no unfortunately. I really wanted to get it implemented as a feature though. My GT Micro's switch LED is pretty dull though - not sure how well it would show up with the main LED on.
Let me know if you can access it ok. If you are used to building NarsilM, I got a ton of Setups.h files that Iv'e used. You have to carefully go thru things and make sure you pick a proper setup config to use, then tweak as you like. Please check the Rev History.txt file carefully for the most recent changes.
Just got my Astrolux FT03 today - the end of the ramping is not the maximum brightness - but I don’t want to have a turbo-mode, I want that light to ramp up to it’s full power like I can with Anduril.
Since this is my first NarsilM driver - is it possible, too?
didn’t find it in the manual though
I think older versions of Narsil had the ramp ceiling equal to max output. My BLF Q8 seems to work like that. But the FT03 uses a more recent version of Narsil. I guess they changed it for some reason.
NarsilM had the ramp ceiling separated from the turbo level during development of the BLF GT. The GT works really well at 2.0A, but not at the full power of 2.5A. It can’t keep the output flat for very long at full power. So the ceiling was set to 2.0A, with an extra 2.5A turbo level.
This is configured at compile time though… it’s not a user-configurable option.
Yes - TK is right. I really don't like the the ramps that fall short of full max... I just configured a NarsilM v1.3 tonight for the SP36, for Barry, and made sure it has the full ramping to max/turbo .
Possible the Lexel/TA/Astrolux connection configured NarslM that way -- just checked, I NEVER used that feature for any of my own stuff, but added it in for the GT.
Not to blame anyone, but that's probably how Astrolux wanted it -- could have even been me that configured it for them - I forget a lot of things...
I don’t think you forgot it. The product listing says “Firmware: Tom E’s open-source GPL NarsilM v1.3 adapted by Texas_Ace”.
However, I don’t see a link to the code there, and don’t see a FT03 build target in the repository or in any of the scattered copies of NarsilM derivatives I’ve gathered over time. I don’t see it in TA’s Avenger driver thread either. Maybe there’s a link which comes with the light itself?
Or maybe it’s another license issue to clean up. Sigh. Hopefully I just looked past the link somewhere.
Ohhh - well, I did forget something. I got FT03 source code and related files from TA. They are actually the S43 version files. Actually I got a collection of flashlight specific NarsilM versions from TA. Well. looks like Mini GT, S43, FT03, and MT09R files actually. I'm sure more lights were programmed with copies of these.
Yeah, I tried asking/telling vendors a couple of times that they must post a link to the source, but don't think I got very far.
I can upload what I got to my google share driver for now - will do by this weekend, I hope.
Ok - actually just uploaded a bunch of drivers (all I got for now), draft manual, and some ZIP's contain PCB drawings as well - think it's ok with TA... I hope?
