Awesome, thanks for confirming
Yeah, double confirmed
There’s only like a 0.3mm difference.
How is the rubber clicky achieved on the bottom right?
That was swapped in from a Thrunite Archer.
Modded the FW3A Cheatsheet
I should incorporate some of these changes into the original. They’re good ideas! Particularly, labelling each arrow so people don’t have to look at the legend to see what they mean. This also helps when printing without color.
Adding product-specific info is a nice touch too, though I’m not sure I want to do that upstream since it’s harder to maintain when each item has a different diagram.
However, I’m not certain all the changes are an improvement:
- I see “Click & Hold”, “Click - Hold”, and “Click then Hold”. How are these three different?
When making the diagram, and generally when communicating about UIs, I’ve been careful to use specific terms… “Hold”, “Click, Hold”, and “Click, Click, Hold”. The reason is to eliminate ambiguity.
It may not be immediately intuitive, because the numbering system starts at zero… but doing it this way ensures there is enough information to figure out the meaning with a bit of thought. Starting it at zero removes any question about whether “Click, Click, Hold” involves pressing the button two times or three times, but starting the counting system at one leaves it unclear. It’s much the same as why “twentieth century” refers to the 1900s.
So, that was a very deliberate decision.
I also see a few other things which might be inaccurate or confusing:
- The arrow to strobe modes indicates that it always starts on candle mode… but it doesn’t.
- The legend says a blue line means 4 clicks, but this is contradicted elsewhere in the diagram.
- Usage of “Mode” is inconsistent. So, for example, it appears to have “Momentary Mode” and “BattCheck Mode”, but also “Muggle Mode Mode” and “Beacon Mode Mode”. It reminds me of when people say “LCD Display” or “PIN Number”. One day, I even caught someone saying “It’s Just a Bunch Of JBOD Disks”.
- Why is candle mode red? Is it related to tempcheck or thermal config somehow?
- Some fonts are almost unreadable due to the small size.
- Button actions are shown in at least 4 different fonts / sizes.
Anyway, if you’d like a somewhat easier time modifying the diagram, the .svg file is in the firmware repository. It’s typically easier than editing in a pixel-based program.
Edit: Looks like maukka brought up some of this first. I should read the rest of the posts before responding.

You forgot “ATM Machine.”
Cool, thanks for the input, I was hoping someone would go over it :+1:
I’m just trying to make the chart more obvious as a few people are having difficulty with the UI functions, I found the original a little hard to grasp at first look.How’s this now?
That’s definitely clearer! :+1:

Or “SSD drive” which annoys me quite a lot.
P.S. Don’t shout at your JBOD’s! In case you don’t get the reference.

Having once worked in a data center doing hardware stress testing, I’m suddenly disappointed that I never tried this.
^ That’s better, CRX. Also I’m glad you removed the instruction text from the bottom. I think that should be separate, as the diagram is meant for quick reference (also the very long image becomes unwieldy to deal with).
Yeah, getting clearera the more I sober up
The quest for FW3A ‘Cheat Sheet’ perfection is closing in on…… P.E.R.F.E.C.T.I.O.N.!!
Together, we can do it
Amen!! …
@ wle
Is that a Glow Gasket thing from Neal??
What color?
what are u using to make it glow?
