FLEX Asgard @ Fasttech

i think he was pointing out the typo in “Disonnect” :wink:

ROFL! I noticed that when I first loaded then completely forgot it said that. I had better contact them again and make them aware. :bigsmile:

Typo noted and it has been fixed :). Sorry for that.

You can switch to celsius mode by simply taping the temperature reading. The app memorizes this preference as well.

This. I was just popping on to says the same things. but you beat me to it, Jasmine. :slight_smile: Jasmine, check your PM about something else I’m seeing. :wink:

beamshots?

Taking some tonight. :wink:

Sweet! Looking forward to those.
Think you could take some beamshots comparing the ZY-T08 and Asgard side-by-side?

Any ETA on the first Reviews ?? Ist there a NDA till xx.xx.xxx ?

Could you test to see how short you can make it blink? For example, set it to max output for 1/960th of a second then off for 39/960ths of a second, then repeat. It should result in a nice 24Hz true strobe. I’d like to know just how small those time slices can be, to see if it can be used for freezing objects in motion and such.

Planning on it :wink:

Hopefully one of the upcoming models will be something like 4x 26650, MT-G2, & 90+mm reflector... :p

4P 18650 side switch, mtg2. and im in for at least 2. If they want to be really nice, a handle.

Everyone,

We’re working with the reviewers on some last minute changes/fixes. Some great improvements have been done thanks to early feedback from JohnnyMac. the and Foy are still playing with the app and I’m sure they will come up with more feedback soon.

Some of the great stuffs include a slick “hidden” Bluetooth mode trigger, programmable mode memory on/off switch, a “sub-moonlight” mode, etc. There were also assembly issues such as reflectors scratched by our devs while they were “playing” with the prototypes before sending them out. These upgrades resulted a lot of code changes, so we’re going to send the reviewers a new set of hardware. They will be sent within next week and the reviewers will get these new hardware within the week.

The reviewers agreed that it is pointless to review a product that is different from what are sold. As such, they might release limited first-impression reviews and full reviews will arrive as soon as the new hardware delivers, in a few days.

Thanks everyone.

Jasmine

I appreciate the transparency regarding the review process. Thanks for keeping all of us in the loop.

Yes, I’m glad that Fasttech is not trying to hide any issues on their new product. Being honest can even gain more reputation in this way :slight_smile:

My review of the prototype light is now up for your viewing pleasure (or displeasure). Check it out here. ;)

I installed the FLEXcandles app on my phone, and I can confirm it at least runs. I’m using CyanogenMod 7, a.k.a. Android 2.3.7. So, it seems that Android 3+ is not required.

I don’t actually have a light to pair the app with though, so I can’t actually get any farther than the opening screen (which only lets me turn on bluetooth and search for a device I don’t have).

Downloaded from Google Play, and same here (app doesn’t crash). FLEXcandles V1.0, on a Samsung Galaxy Player 5, Gingerbread.

I can confirm the app loaded up and opened fine on my galaxy s3, its on android 4.1.2 though so no suprise there.

Its a shame you have to pair before you can program, I’d have liked to have a play setting up modes, light in hand or not. Can we forward this as a further refinement? programming unpaired then just pair to upload the finished article?

As a side note, delays in shipping are good for me, they save mrs gords kicking my arse for buying more toys :bigsmile:

forget that, guys, hit the back button a couple of times, you can start playing. The advanced programing baffles me as I dont get what its on about but the basic bit is easy enough to say the least, the two profiles I suspect will become default are already written, I’m probably going to create a child friendly one too since both my boys seem to like to turn up to max then shine in their eyes…… moonlight to about 8% spread on “high” should be good for bedside table duty :bigsmile:
