** BLF LT1M-Mini Project - The little Lantern! ( PM's sent today June 21, 2022)**

How do you get to “Tint Ramping Mode”??

Mine arrived! These are very nice & well done. A big THANK YOU to all involved. :+1:

Mine is doing the exact same thing. Temperature Check is not in the rotation.

Your right, my original LT1 came with Andruil, my later one came with Sofrin board and Andruil2.

I bought a board from Oshpark to program my original, not done it yet, but of course Sofrin seem to make up a new pin pattern on every light. We already had competing “standards” to chose from :person_facepalming:

that’s a bummer man. kills me when there are multiple ‘standards’. :weary:

LT1 and LT1 Mini do not have a temperature sensor so they do not have a temperature check mode. They are designed to never get too hot so you do not have to worry about temperature.

Click 3 times from on and hold the last click

Agreed. Of my few complaints with LT1 Mini, that is the largest. Sofirn continues to use different flashing pad layouts on various models rather than standardizing so that we can easily do firmware updates. They even changed the flashing pad layout on LT1 when they released the latest powerbank version.

THANK YOU tactical_grizzly!!! :beer:

Got my LT1 Mini yesterday, awesome little lantern!

Where is the picture of the UI for this light, it’s normally in the OP.

Also: how to know if you’re in simple mode or not? And how to toggle it?

I assume it’s the same as the Sofirn LT1 Anduril 2 chart.

To know if you’re in simple mode or not, click 3x from off to do a battery check. If it blinks out the voltage once and then turns off, you’re in the Simple UI. If it continues to blink out the voltage until you click to stop it, then it’s in the Advanced UI.

To toggle from Simple to Advanced, click 10x from off and hold the last click.

To toggle from Advanced back to simple, click 10x from off.

Thanks mate, yep mine shipped in stepped ramping and simple UI

Thanks! I thought with all the little UI revisions there might have been a different chart made, guess I was wrong!

I made a reflector and wider base for my LT1 Mini that attach magnetically. The base stows on top and only adds 1mm of height. Complete kits for sale here if you’re interested. Thanks to Lixivium for the idea to have the base store on top!

Great lantern. I like it as a flashlight. Hope to see it with a bezel, or IF25 pro / blf version, anduril 2, instant tint shift, xp-l hi 2850/5000 or 519A’s.

Is it still time to get on board ?

If so i’m interested in the code.

Thanks.

Let us know as soon as possible when the colored versions of the LT1 Mini is available Barry! :smiley:

Sofirn has updated LT1 Mini’s driver design to use an ATTiny1616 instead of an ATTiny85. Below to the left is a photo of my early-production review sample, and below to the right is a brand new LT1 Mini someone posted in the comments of my review. New lights use the “blf-lantern-t1616” firmware.

Does anyone know a good way to remove these drivers? I’d like to reflash mine using an SOIC clip but I can’t figure out how to remove the driver.

Interesting… The test unit i have has the Atiny85, and waiting for orders of the production model to arrive to see if its like the one you have.

I don’t believe an Attiny1616 is flashable using a SOIC clip. It’s a different form factor with more pins.

I have the 85 version on the left, not the 1616 version on the right. Unfortunately some users over on Reddit informed me that this driver is difficult to remove and even then it’s hard to get to the MCU, so I’ll probably just solder wires to do the firmware update.
