The Astrolux FT03 corresponds to (is exactly the same as) the Mateminco MT35-Mini (and thus also uses NarsilM v1.3)
The Astrolux S43/S43S corresponds to the Mateminco S03/S03 copper (and thus also uses NarsilM v1.3)
I think the Haikelite MT03 TA Devourer (MT03 revision 3) also uses NarsilM, similar to the Haikelite MT09R.
Er, another small correction. It looks like the BLF D80 v2 is using a derivative of Flintrock’s Bistro HD, not Bistro.
They sound like almost the same thing because of the name, but they only actually share a few scattered bits of code in common. I think most of the UI is similar, since it’s aimed at being kinda the same as far as the user is concerned, but some things are different and I’m not sure what. The list of changes is longer than the original user manual, and the code changes themselves are several times larger than the original code.
I’m a little worried about the D80 v2 since Bistro HD was really buggy last time I tried it, and I don’t think it has ever been used in production before. Not sure if Flintrock got it to a stable state before he left.
Thanks for the information, TK. When you say “buggy”, can you provide us some examples of what to look out for (eg. doing this mode to the flashlight, may result in this unexpected result…) — also those who got prototype of BLF D80v2 for testing, would have some idea of what conditions to test them on…
It has been a while. Last time I tried it, he was working on making it function on e-switch lights. It was meant to respond exactly the same as if it was used on a clicky-switch light, so the LEDs would turn off any time the button was pressed. Odd UI choice, but I guess I get why it was done that way. In any case, about all I remember is that it would kinda just fall apart in less than a minute while clicking to navigate the interface. In 5 minutes I probably ran into ~8 different failure modes, so I categorized it in my head as something to look into later after it was more developed.
But when it’s using OTSM instead of an e-switch, I’m not sure what to expect. I’m guessing it’s more solid when used that way, since that was what it had originally been meant to run on.
