Using the precompiled hex: when stopping ramping in the middle of the two flashes, the light output goes below floor level. Guess this is a bug. If corrected, a new hex file should be uploaded.
Which two flashes? You mean between output channels? There is no branching between the flashes.
The flashes after direct floor and before ramping.
Sorry, don’t know what you mean. I don’t have “flashes after direct floor and before ramping”. We need more info: Which build, which target, which configuration? Looks like you have something with legacy button timing.
15C blinks out 2.1
It was the only D4S version I could find when I needed the hex file.
Well, doesn’t matter if it’s gone already. Does not bother me personally, just wanted to report.
“2.1” is not a valid build/date code. “legacy” means “2019”, so it was long gone even in Anduril 1. Where did you find that hex file?
That one should not have any flashes when you hold the button while off. When the light is off and you hold the button, it should do nothing for about half a second, then turn on in floor and half a second later start ramping up.
Are you in smooth or stepped ramping? Have you changed the ramp settings?
It immediately starts as it should. I’m in advanced mode, ramping, and set the floor level to 5.
This is how Anduril turns on since early 2020 mid 2019 (example: D4S, latest Anduril 2):
Delay after pressing the button, turns on in floor, another delay, starts ramping up. No flashes.
Ok, thanks. It is somewhat difficult for me to follow the version blinks (I’m old), but I tried:
2 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 9 - 2 - 7 - 1 - 1 - 3 - 1
Why is there a delay in recent versions?
As I said, that’s not recently, that’s default since 2019-06-02. For almost two years. It was changed to remove the flashes (that indicated when it is safe to release to stay at floor).
Your version seems to be 2020-09-27 (the zero is shorter than one) with model 0131 (Emisar D4S). And that build should not flash.
Except it does.
Thanks for explaining the blinks, I wasn’t able to look that information up.
I had to check this and flashed the version you’ve linked above onto my D4S. Result: Exact same behavior as intended and shown in my video. Turns on after a short delay and absolutely no flashes.
What ever happened to the optic nerve programming idea on the FW3A? Last I heard of it, they deemed it unreliable to use the LED as a photo receiver but does that mean 2 pin programming is a possibility? Could we adapt it to program a attiny1634 with 2 pins?
A mystery.
Here I first started from off, showing the flashes, then I blinked out the version number:
I have not compiled the hex myself, I’m not even able to. Also, I have no other source for hex files.
As far as I can see you have the delay as well. The flashes you are seeing are not the “flashes” from the legacy button timing, they look different. Your driver might have issues regulating low levels, maybe one of your 7135 doesn’t like the short pulses. Or the ramping table in the flash memory got corrupted (you could try to download the hex again, but it should contain checksums and the normal programming validates the flash as well).
Maybe. Likely? As I said, wenn I stop in the middle of those flashes, the light can go below floor level. I cannot explain this with a defect 7135.
At 1, I see actually nothing, then it comes on but is unstable. At 3, the light is stable and extremly dim.
Ok, so I should flash it again :weary:
Tried all floor levels up to 18, where the ramp started to become linear with a low enough floor level. Actually looks normal now, so I’ll leave it as it is. Thanks for your help and sorry for being such a noob. Need to learn much more about these things.
Is there a status page about the Andùril 2 project?
Sorry i haven’t followed this whole thread and i’m a bit confused. Is it done and available on some newer lights? What’s the feedback about it?
Just looking at some recent UI charts i got a headache…
I don’t know how accurate it is, but in the first post TK wrote this:
Granted, A2 has more commits on BZR since then, but AFAIK no new releases.
IMO it’s a nice progression from vanilla Anduril, but I like a few things changed from the stock A2 configuration.
