Sofirn SP10 Pro (AA/14500/Andúril 2) - now available!

I'm think'n D-E-D, DED. But who knows - project could be temporarily frozen and thaw out in another year or two -- it's happened here before, even very successfully (LT1).

No posts from Barry ever, last post from OP 4 months ago, last post from TK 11 months ago ...

I must admit I'm not sure about the current status of this project. The experts who once worked on the technical details have become silent. They probably have more important things to do right now. The crucial points of this flashlight will be 1) the boost driver to run both 1.2V NiMH and 3.7V Li-Ion batteries and 2) the corresponding changes in the Andúril firmware. Maybe ToyKeeper can give us any news if there are any. Sofirn is probably just about getting back into full operation, so I expect they have to deal with a big backlog.

And you’re lighting up a grin on my face! :+1:

Please make an SP10S V2 in the meantime with a shortcut to moon! Pretty please!

I second that request ! :laughing: :heart_eyes:
This is my only grip with the SP10S.
i would buy the SP10S V2 for sure and Later the Andúril version as my 4th sp10 :sunglasses:

ditto on the “Pretty please!” :wink:

YESSSS! Just picked up the LH351D SP10S and its a nice little light. Granted, I strongly prefer tail clickies but I’m getting used to this. With a nimh its nice that it always comes on in low, too bad you have to cycle through all the high modes to get to moonlight, though.

Interested.

I ordered a driver for the sp10s to see what chip was on it without tearing my light apart.
I was hoping it was something we already had a fancy .hex file for.

Well I dont know squat about micro controllers but I know most of the hex files in the repository are for attiny chips.

This one is marked
12LF1822
SN1912
STA

It is an 8 pin chip.
Datasheet is available online.
Maybe someone can do something with this and we can flash our own.

OH BTW the driver is one of the T shaped 2 board configurations making the chip inaccessible to a programming clip.
there are multiple connections on both sides of the joint of the 2 boards so it would be difficult to separate them.
Still not easy but I think better to solder prog. wires to the pins individually.

ETA: minor correction

Interested for 1!

Yes I hope.

Yep, I am interested, depending on what the features are. Only problem is, I want it now! :slight_smile:

Also interested in this

Interested!

TK, or I, can't do much without a driver. So the driver is the first thing we need developed, and we need a fairly good electronics designer for this.

Of course loneoceans with a lume1 variant would be great for this.

Need to have the switch on a right angle board. There is actually a little slot for the switch board in the body, at least as designed.

Factory driver.
