✌ FREEME - ASTROLUX FT03 Mini XHP50.2 (4200lm) / SST40 Anduril AUX LEDs USB-C 18650 Flashlight - ALIVE

Mmm, so no AT85 means no easy reflash to NarsilM.

yep!

I don’t know either. Wasn’t aware the FT03 Mini existed until a few minutes ago.

I haven’t really worked with Mateminco for a while, because they’ve got a few products being distributed without source code, in violation of the license. Have tried to resolve it with Ben (Survivor), and sent all the info necessary for that six months ago, but nothing has happened yet. Sent another message just now, so maybe it can get fixed.

Anduril definitely isn’t for everyone.

However, getting Anduril to work on a light mostly means getting FSM to work on that hardware. And if FSM works, it means a variety of other interfaces should work too.

Ideally, vendors should be able to offer any FSM-based UI. It could even be an option at time of purchase. It could use Anduril, or a ZebraLight UI, or an Olight UI, or a simplified ramping UI, or even a ported version of NarsilM (though neither Tom nor I has ported it to FSM yet). As long as the driver has flashing pads in a standard layout, it’s easy to change the UI — before or after purchase.

The idea is: people write UI apps on top of FSM, and then FSM handles all the differences in hardware. It’s like how people can run their favorite programs on almost any computer, mixing and matching hardware and software as they please.

The idea isn’t fully realized yet, but it’s at least sort of close… it makes portability a lot easier.

Yup, it seems like a good step forward, and gchart has already done most of the work. I need to get the code merged in… have just been a bit distracted with all the other stuff happening lately.

Interested!

I agree TK - not sure that I'd port NarsilM as-is to FSM - there's too many similarities with Anduril. For example, I don't like the Werner style UI for set mode levels and would rather go with Anduril style mode levels - makes more sense, more powerful custom settings, etc.

Also would want to use/leverage the more advanced thermal mgt, multi-MCU, AUX LED support, etc. I can see minor changes, and a simpler UI as being suggested, but I need a lot more specific details of what to change, eliminate, etc.

All replied.

Question, is the 18350 tube part of the FT03 Mini package or separately available?

In BG, there is the option of “FT03 Mini flashlight” or the “FT03 Mini + Samsung 30Q” — Are the 18350 tubes included for both version of the item in BG’s listing?

Included.

Price increased.

Shipping has started.

Yep, mine shipped! Earlier than the delayed date they said, interesting.

Hello freeme,

Interested (too lazy to fill form :slight_smile: )

Thanks.

No problem.

Can someone tell me exactly what to purchase for flashing firmware? I’ve flashed phones a lot so the computer side is easy, just need to know what to buy

Would be happy ditching the aux and using a simplified UI on the AstroluxFT03 Mini, MF01, EC03 etc if it has the pads

So no 5000k 50.2 available then?

I notice my order description seems to have changed. It says 5700k but I am sure it said 5000k. Shipping 13th of July but BG says it’s in stock. Anyone know what’s going on?

mine still hasn’t shipped :frowning:

FT03 mini looks really cute with short tube.
