Just an observation, the SC10 Pro button indicator light changes brightness, when the light is ON above 75 Lumens:
I donk know if there is a meaning to that change in button output.
One thing Im really happy about, is there are NO double blinks anywhere in the ramp on the SC21 Pro…
about charging, it works great!
The charging rate tapers down as voltage rises:
and the green charged indicator lights up reliably, above 4.1v, and charging stops:
pocket clip works great too!
I put some shrink tubing on the ears, and it goes on without damage, and holds nice and tight… the clip is a nice deep carry configuration… I like it!
Has anyone contacted sofirn to see if sofirn will reflash existing lights to anduril 2?
Description specifically says anduril 2. Maybe no compatible firmware hence anduril 1? Was planning on ordering with sp10 pro when sp10 pro in stock but now I’m hesitant
For the benefit of others I would emailed sofirn. It’s false advertising. Of course I doubt it’s malicious, knowing sofirn it’s probably a case of copy-pasting and not proofreading.
At the very least it would encourage them to update their stock descriptions.
I don’t want to open any dispute asking for a replacement/refund because I don’t want them to lose the money. An exchange is fine but I don’t know how they are going to work it out.
Hank solved the Muggle-Mode bug issue by creating a flashing tool and selling it to existing customers of the D4V2 at self-cost. I’d welcome that also for solving the SP10 Pro firmware bug (though I personally don’t mind and have not openend a case with Sofirn, but am rather grateful they produced it).
While Anduril 2 is better, Anduril 1 is still quite good. Finding either Anduril 1 or 2 on a low-cost budget light is impressive… and probably a far better UI than what most budget lights come with.
Cracked open my SC21 Pro to do an emitter swap and removed the driver. It’s also glued, but a short time with a heat gun made short work of it.
It’s running what looks like an ATTiny1616, and comparing the flashing pads and where the pinouts from the controller connects, this is what the pinout looks like as far as I can tell:
Now that’s interesting! I had heard that they were planning on using the attiny1616 for the SC21 Pro, but then Barry seemed to go quiet so I never ended up hearing for sure. Did you / could you grab pics of the driver? I can’t believe they didn’t use the same flashing pad layout that I had provided. At least there are pads, I suppose. I can always rig something up if I need to for flashing.
But which firmware? Some say Anduril 1, some say 2. I doubt that they created their own ATtiny1616 Anduril 1 port. Maybe two different drivers from different batches?
This was the best I got at the time, just taken with a phone. The “1616” can be barely made out, it’s a 20pin SOC and looks to be the appropriate size just by eyeballing it.
Also interestingly, the driver was keyed to the head so it wouldn’t rotate if it became loose and muck with the USB port position. Not sure if this is a standard thing with Sofirn on-board rechargeable lights.
