Flashlight User Interface Cheatsheets

:laughing:

Q8 is only 3 years old! Man, the flashlight world moves fast. Lol

Oh, man... just what I was looking for. Many thanks!

Does that mean Biscotti exhibits the “Next Mode Memory” problem? It doesn’t restore the last mode used when the light was turned off.

I'm no expert, but I think something is wrong with that diagram because if mode memory is on, then the flashlight should not enter into the next mode when turned on.

Yeah it should be worded more like this.

Toldja.

I am about to order Convoy S2+ with nichia 219C which, unfortunately, has the Next Mode memory among its features, as per the description page. I asked Simon through Ali messaging, but he is too busy for the moment.

In the screenshot you have modified above, (change “Enter into last mode” instead of “Enter into next mode”), is it what you wish or is it the reality?

Do you have any flashlight using the Biscotti firmware to verify? Thanks

(I have edited my original question, 4 posts above this one, to highlight in red in the diagram the confusing area)

I do believe Biscotti firmware was made by toykeeper and doubt they would incorporate NMM so admit to changing the sheet without checking.
The diagram was probably made in China.

I should have a Biscotti firmware driver from Convoy to check on later.

Flashlights with BLF User Interfaces

I think you can rest be assured that Convoy S2+ with Biscotti firmware, does not have “next mode memory”. The S2+ with SST20/Nichia 219C with Biscotti operates similar to the Convoy C8+ with Biscotti — when mode memory is enabled, it will have “last mode memory” instead of “next mode memory”.

I don't see any mention of the F/W check mode in the Anduril guide. Isn't it 15 clicks from off?

Also, I wish there was a date right in the image of each guide at the bottom or top that would indicate the date it was last updated so I could just check the one I have with any possible new versions to verify if I need to update mine.

Thanks for all the hard work on these!

12 click and on the 13th keep it pressed , it will flash and twinkle and then after the brightest flash it’s made a factory reset

I was talking about the F/W check mode put in the F/W back in November, not factory reset. I thought it was 15 clicks to have it blink out F/W version installed on the light. I have the D4V2.

By F/W you mean firmware? I have not heard of this, sorry.

To me, blinking out a date is incomprehensible. I modified my Anduril to blink out a true version #, like 1.1, same as we blink out an n.n voltage reading. I also added the firmware blink out to the grouping invoked by triple click, so on triple click you get:

  • voltage reading
  • temp reading
  • firmware version #

This is what I did on Narsil - seems logical to me. ?

Sounds logical to me too.

Sounds great but I'm not into modifying code and have no desire to do so. I'm an electronics technician for over 30 years so hardware is my thing.

Dunno if you bought a programming cable, but if there's demand, I could look into building a .hex file of the latest Anduril mod'ed as described. This way you don't have to see even one line of that nasty 'C' code stuf!

Oh yeah, I bought the firmware programming dongle from Hank as soon as they were available. I think I was one of the first few to get one. I love being able to put on the latest firmware whenever improvements are made. I just put on the latest one 2020_03_18 this morning.
