More playing with the L6ā¦
Trying to flash Anduril to the MtnE 30mm Fet+1 tiny85 for 2S config. I tried the āanduril.2021-12-13.emisar-d4.hexā file and could not get it to run full turbo. Was only drawing about 4A with on and 2C. Tried again with āanduril.2020-03-18.emisar-d4.hexā file and got it back to 17A on full turbo.
Was like it wasnāt kicking in the Fetā¦
Any hints here?
Is one Anduril 1 and one Anduril 2? Turbo behavior has changed in Anduril 2. To get turbo, first ramp up to ceiling, then do 2C. It can be changed in the config menu, check the manual.
Hello Sammy, I tried the ramp to top and 2C but there still was no change in brightness. Same files again on another light with another MtnE 17mm Fet+1 tiny85, but this light is a triple running 1S. Flashed it back to the 2020 file and it will run turbo ON and 2C. Same problem on 2 different lights with same files used.
I did check the Anduril2 directory of files and there were none that match these dates. I do see the āAnduril2ā files in that folder do not use the ā2ā in the names but I did not get these from that directory. This Anduril is new to me and thanks for the tips.
Just finished this one today. Old C8F 18650 host. Now has XPL-HI 5000K and the MtnE Fet+1 on Anduril.
More old parts getting used up.
Little more thought on my firmware flash after reading all the recent posts on Anduril āissuesā. The newer version just might flash to muggle mode with no turbo. But Iām still learning Anduril so I would bet that I am the Issue. Wires on the C8F and the L6 are just barely long enough to get the driver flipped and clipped for flash. Will try again.
Need to ditch the Green SW LED on the C8F anywayā¦ back to the bench.
Thanks for the offer Jon. I tried again on the 2021 file and also tried to to see if it was Muggle mode. I was able to access other functions so I am inclined to think it was not in Muggle mode and NO Turbo once again. 6C, same sameā¦ Just went back to the 2020 file I know works.
Went white behind the smoke black button. I like itā¦
Hand soldering.
The posts i see are about someoneās personal issues with Anduril 2 rather than issues within the firmware.
Anduril 1 had muggle mode, Anduril 2 is quite different and is built around 2 UIs, Simple UI and Advanced UI. Simple UI is a properly performing UI with more functions than muggle mode, possibly including those functions you accessed.
In Anduril 2, if youāre not at the top of the ramp 2C will take you there. Once youāre at the top of the ramp 2C will take you to turbo in Advanced UI, but there is no turbo in the Simple UI so 2C will not change the brightness level from the top of the ramp.
If youāve just flashed the firmware it will have defaulted to Simple UI (intentionally) which would give you more functions than muggle mode and no turbo, which sounds similar to what you experienced.
Also, 6C is only relevant to Anduril 1, it does not switch between UIs in Anduril 2. (Thatās 10H for Simple -> Advanced, and 10C for Advanced -> Simple.)
Is it possible thereās a misunderstanding with how the new firmware functions rather than a fault with the firmware itself?
1. not all anduril 2 lights default to Simple, some default to Advanced
the way to tell which one youre in, is to do 3C from offā¦ if the voltage reads out once and turns off, that is Simple Mode. If instead the voltage blinks repeat until switched off, that is Advanced
2. In some Anduril 2 lights, simple mode ceiling is set to 150/150ā¦ iow, the same as if it was on Turbo
3. In advanced, from On, 2C gives ceiling, another 2C will NOT go to Turbo, it drops back to the previous outputā¦ Unless you get into the manual and configure the Turbo Styleā¦ the default way to get to Turbo from On is to Ramp up to ceiling first, and then do 2C to reach Turbo
otoh, from Off, 2C does give Turbo, unless it is disabled, in which case it gives ceiling.
Was a Long night but you both nailed the āproblemā. I am new to Anduril let alone Andruil 2. I even went as far as rewiring my clip, reloading USBASP drivers to make sure they were correct before I realised the files were A2. But in my defense the files were Not taken from the A2 directory. :person_facepalming:
Anyway, lessons learned. The L6, C8F triple and 2 original Q8 are now on Andruil 2.
2S batts. And that was with the ranpingIOS. Havenāt tested it again with Anduril2. Also have not played with the voltage or thermal cal on the L6 since A2 flash.
Thanks for the turbo in simple tip, I would still want it at 2C. Would it still go to turbo at 2C if I set it at the top of the ramp too?
There is no Turbo in Simple, only Ceilingā¦ and 2C gets you thereā¦ so, if the ceiling is set to 150/150, 2C gets you the ceiling of 150/150=Turbo
> Would it still go to turbo at 2C if I set it at the top of the ramp too?
top of ramp = turbo
simple goes to top of ramp w 2Cā¦ there is no separate Turbo in Simple
so if you set simple ceiling to 100/150, then thats all you get from 2C in Simpleā¦
otoh advanced has an independent Turboā¦ available in addition to whatever ceiling isā¦ but Turbo still equals top of ramp, IF ceiling is set to 150/150, then Turbo will look exactly the same
there are now 4 turbo stylesā¦ look in the manual for the section that says:
āItem 4: Configure Advanced UIās turbo styleā
Simple is set that way by default but you can turn turbo on. As you rightly point out it makes no difference if ceiling is set to the default of 150.
This is from TKās manual( relating to 10H from off in Advanced UI):
āFor the Simple UI mode, there are four menu options. The first three
are the same as stepped ramping mode.
1. Floor. (default = 20/150)
2. Ceiling. (default = 120/150)
3. Number of steps. (default = 5)
4. Turbo style. (default = 0, no turbo)ā
So if you hold the 10H until the fourth flash and then click during the fuzz you turn turbo on.
As jon_slider explains, if the top of ramp (ceiling) is set to level 150/150, which is turbo, then 2C would take you to turbo from levels 1-149. But when youāre at the top of the ramp at 150 youāre already where 2C would take you.
If you set the ceiling lower than turbo, say to level 120/150, then 2C would take you to 150 from all levels.
(Not sure if that makes sense, feel like iām mixing terminology a bit.)
Oooh, thanks that one helps a lot. Didnāt realize it goes back from top for ceiling set. Also then assuming setting bottom would count UP as in 1 to 50 for example?
Smooth moon to turbo is what I would like in the ramping. Well for the L6 I might want higher than 1 to start. I am from the RampingIOS and I am used to that layout, for my own lights anyway. 1H moon and the 2C Turbo are kinda natural to me. Move through ramp easier, faster.
Have the PDF of the UI saved, also in phone. Not sure I want to read the entire written file, would just confuse me more with too much info at once. Just look up the bits as needed.
