@Adair21

You are an absolute legend! Put me down for a 3-wire version. I’m tired of using my embarrassing homemade key

Yea, that is pretty ghetto….but effective.
Lol!

[Gunga]

Im interested.

Alright you flashing fiends… while I think the decision on the flashing pad arrangement of the SC21 Pro is just silliness, I just can’t help but make flashing keys (especially when I am persuaded to do so…). I just whipped these guys up, I’ll have them available whenever Oshpark can get them to me (likely a couple of weeks):

Depending on what style of programmer you have, I made two different types of adapters, one with the resistor and diode on board, one without. Really, the one with the resistor and diode would cover both scenarios - you would just connect the RX line and leave the TX empty… but I created and ordered the 3-wire version before I thought about that. Oh well!

3-wire version:

4-wire version:

Gchart, please put me down for the 4 wire version with diode. That would work great with the UPDI programmer I have.

Thank you, Bob.

@jon_slider

btw, they are on sale, code S7ECOBGO, the SP10 Pro also.

Jon, thanks for the link. I just ordered 3 more, one of each color, with battery of course. I see some emitter swaps in my future

If I have these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LZV1G6K, then can I just solder the wire to the jumper connecting TX/RX or is the diode required?

I just got some of those USB adapters. From my tests, I was able to flash firmware just fine. BUT… I have not yet tried that with just jumping the TX and RX together. Some people have gotten it to work, and I think a couple have not reported as much luck.

Those are the adapters I have, I have not tried any flashing yet, I only connected it to my pc to make sure I could see the com port.

[SemiNormal]

No dice. So where is a good place to get assorted diodes and resistors?

Are these still shipping with Anduril 1.0?

@darosk

Are these still shipping with Anduril 1.0?

yes
the SC21 Pro ships w Anduril 1.
I use gcharts programmer to reflash to Anduril 2.

alternatively, the Wurkkos TS10, and Sofirn SP10 Pro, ship w Anduril 2

Cool, my SP10Pro is on permanent EDC duty, but I just wanted to see the difference in hand between the 16340 and 14500 size lights. Can’t really take the word of people online about feel in hand because, well, their hands aren’t my hands

I might go for one anyway just because they’re so(firn) affordable. Just to see how it feels.

[jon_slider]

I like the shorter (but fatter) SC21 Pro size better than the SP10 Pro form factor. (both lights have the same carry weight)
.
I also like the lighted button better, the clip rides deeper, and it tailstands better

[darosk]

Very nice - the reflectors are the same size, right? I think I heard that somewhere.

Any luck on finding a TIR that goes in without too much sanding or cutting required? I’ve got DC-Fix on my SP10Pro, but I’m curious if there are any other nice lens options.

[jon_slider]

@darosk

actually no
.

I do not have a good undetstanding of the Pebbled Tir Options… but yes, I have seen some photos

[darosk]

Ok thanks. Those are nice pinks

Don’t recall if this was mentioned earlier; the TIRs Convoy/Simon sell for the S2+ also fit wonderfully in the SC21 without the glass lens and emitter gasket just as they do in the S2+. The head will screw down more for those who don’t need the warning label to line up I grabbed a random beaded TIR from my stash, probably a 15deg, and honestly wish this were an option from factory, it’s great.

Sofirn SC21 mini - #230 by DarkShot

Very interesting, thanks for that. Pity they aren’t the same size, because I tried the S2+ TIRs and they don’t work like drop-ins on my SP10Pro like they do in that SC21Pro. That’s another tick for me getting one I guess.

[Lightbringer]

20mm TIRs are most common for these lights (S2+, etc.), but 17mm is another somewhat common size. Fits in D25 headlamps with minimal sanding, so see if one of those would do.

Only thing I’d be concerned with is depth. (That’s what she said…)
