Thanks. The automatic lockout was definitely worth the effort.

Like Yngwie Malmsteen is the closest pronunciation for english speakers. I belive I read once that he changed from Yngve to Yngwie because no one could pronounce Yngve.
I know the D4v2 has different flashing pads. I have been able to flash the D4v2 with Hank’s adapter by simply using a steady hand and holding the pins down on the flashing pads.
Can I build a similar adapter and hold it down on the flashing pads? If so, any guide on how to build an adapter for this light? I wonder what Sofirn uses to flash firmware
My little SC21 Pro, modded to 660nm red has become my favorite nightstand light. Im finding the lighted switch really useful.
For the past few days I have been leaving the Red LED On at the lowest mode 24/7. It has not changed the battery voltage readout (love that feature too). Im starting to wonder how long the lowest mode will last… LOL
That is the intended way to use the pads. You have to make yourself an adapter with pogo pins. You’ll also need a different programming device and software compared to the D4v2.
I have zero clue where to start. I followed the guide on BLF for the D4v2. I have no idea what to purchase, what programming device, software, etc. Would this be similar software to the SP10 Pro? I have gchart’s adapter but haven’t had time to look for a guide for the SP10 Pro

can someone sell me a pogo harness for SC21 Pro that plugs into my TTL?
Im just in over my head trying to understand this:
Im trying to understand what connections to make to the TTL…
questions:
1. you want me to connect pin 6 on the SC21 to VCC? my TTL does not have a VCC label… which label is equivalent to what you call VCC?
2. you want me to connect pin 1 on the light to Both TX and RX on the TTL? And does this programmer need a resistor between pin 1 on the SC21 and the TX and RX parts of the TTL?
sorry to be dense… if this is just too many questions… I understand. Totally lost here…
Adair21, could you share a photo of the TTL and wiring harness you use to flash SC21 Pro? And how you conect to the light? I think Im a visual learner…
The stuff I did on my breadboard have already been done on your adapter. Notice the small black diode crossing between R and T on the board. This one connects them together.
and thanks for all the coaching, including explaining the T and R little black diode on the TTL that gchart built for SP10 Pro… I think Im almost ready to flash SC21 Pro…
instead of soldering wires to the TTL and the flashing pads on the light, I would like to build a pogo adapter for the SC21 Pro
can anyone here suggest a shopping list and links of what to buy to build a pogo pin harness adapter to fit SC21 Pro…
I have no experience shopping for the connectors and wires needed.
It’s very easy soldering. If I were you i would just cut the wires in your picture and solder them to the board.
Why wait for parts when you can get new FW already today?
Just apply a small blob of solder to the pads, then a little on the end of the wire.
Put the cable on top of the pad and touch it with the soldering iron so that it melts together.
That way you don’t have to hold the wire, the tin and the soldering iron at the same time.
You can use a soldering braid to remove the solder from the board afterwards if you like (I just left it there in case I want to flash it again in the future).
thanks for your thoughts. I do not want to destroy the pogo adapter that gchart built for the SP10 Pro… so I wont cut those wires.
I do understand I could just solder wires to the programmer and light… and might do that, but, I have more than one SC21 Pro, so a pogo pin harness for that model, would be better than soldering wires…
in any case, thank you very much for getting me past my hardware wiring questions. Will update when I successfully update my SC21 Pro lights to Anduril 2.
update, with the tremendous help from zumlin on reddit I have moved one step closer… I measured the pads spacing on the SC21 Pro,
jon_slider, please let us know how that 6 pin adapter works out. I don’t mind soldering pins to boards, but I don’t know anything about board design. I was hoping gchart would throw a design out on Oshpark.
