so, Anduril has No LVP for non-RGB Aux lights… wow, it took us a few years to realize that.
The problem went undetected for a LOOOONG time and is Not specific to TS10.
And the problem with high battery drain is Only for High Mode Aux lights.
Low mode aux lights last 1-2 years, depending whose drain rate data we use.
about 2 years on low
about 1 year on low
Hopefully I got all that correct.
so, my takeaway is:
Do NOT use High Mode Aux Lights 24/7
as they will drain the battery in less than a week.
(plus it will overdischarge since there is no LVP)
Even if LVP was working (I have not seen a fixed hex file for that)
(there is a hex file to turn off the aux lights when main LEDs are on thanks to zumlin),
but no Update will change the reality that High Mode Aux will Still Kill the Battery in less than a Week
High aux mode isn’t very practical. Other lights have had this issue. I vaguely even an 18650 in an Emisar D4v2 would drain in something like 5 or 10 days on high aux.
Much better to just use low aux. it’s bright enough to find the light and won’t drain the light fast.
While I don’t have a TS10 yet to test it on, I have patched the aux LVP for non-RGB lights and tested it on a different light (my FT03). I have sent the firmware to Wurkkos for testing. So this should be addressed going forward.
I’m kinda shocked we’ve been without this for so long. But yeah… Just don’t keep your small lights on aux-high!
Eh, I dunno. Most Hank lights with aux are RGB, right? Those should be ok I think. But honestly I’m not sure how Anduril (1) handled it, it could be different.
I just tested your patch on my TS10 and I can confirm that it has fixed the LVP bug. The aux leds now turn off when the voltage drops below 2.8V on my dc power supply.
Or are you looking for a pre-built hex file? Note that the TS10 uses an attiny1616 and uses a different programmer (UDPI) than what most other Anduril lights used (attiny85 or attiny1634 with the 6-pin ISP programming interface).
