I have actually tried added an aux led to the SP10 Pro like described above, by soldering a wire directly directly to a pin. It was very difficult but I got it working with a driver that was removed from the light. But the connection so was weak such that when I tested its strength by pulling on it gently, it got disconnected.
32AWG solid wire soldered on two pins, at first I used only one pin and it held well enough, but since the pins are very small it’s easier and likely more robust with on two pins.
Oh man, that is thin!!! Idk, I may risk it. Gotta find the appropriate wire (abroad, local stores don’t have it :person_facepalming: )
Thanks for the inspiration, thefreeman!
And thanks for the report on your experience zumlin !
The usual 30 AWG silicone stranded wire should do as well, especially since as previously mentioned there are 3 consecutive free pins and the wire can be soldered horizontally, soldering on a middle pin is another story. Just put a generous amount of flux.
The enameled wires I often use are those actually it’s 36SWG, which is aprox 33AWG. the solid green insulated wire picture was actcually 30AWG
I always secure the wire with some glue after soldering (but not directly on the solder joint).

Do you know how these stranded enameled wires are called that are often used in headphone cables? I like to use them in some situations, but my stash of cheap earphones is almost empty.
The one I listed have colored enamel (they also have 38SWG), but solid wire, not stranded like headphones cables. Searching for stranded enamelled wire gives a couple of results but not colored.
Maybe you would have more luck stripping audio cables with stranded enamelled wires inside, This for example
Anyone got the SP10S blue and SP10pro blue? Is the anodizing similar? I no longer have my old SP10S blue but I remember it being light blue while the SP10pro is darker blue.
I might be misremembering the color though.
Did anyone discover this part? Does the option 4 has any meaning in the config simple mode ramp config menu?
I’m pretty satisfied with my SP10 Pro (version 2022_04_18), only this minor question remained. It took time for me to understand ramp speed (option 3) does not work for Simple mode, according to Toykeeper’s manual it’s inherited from Advanced. In some versions Option 4 (in the ramp config menu) is the speed parameter, but I learned that for SP10 Pro it is Option 3.
Sticking to lowest ramp floor, with multimeter I get current draw:
3.5 mA with 1.2V cell
3 mA with 1.5V cell
1.3 mA with 3.7V cell
So in any case it would take few hundreds of hours do drain the cell. IMO still not long enough for always-on indicator light, but ocassionally I wouldnn’t hesitate to leave it on as a night light, as it won’t impact whole runtime too much.
