Any plans on selling spare drivers?
I thought if you sent them an email or pm here they would sell you one.
I also have problems.
After a few tries.. I could get the light connected through bluetooth.
And I could upload my first mode configuration.
But I didnt like it so much, and wanted to change it.. now every time the program hangs when I want to add a profile..
It says something about "selected index".. .no idea what that means...
I re-installed the program 2 or 3 times.. but still get the same error message.
Well mine read the default modes once… and the program said I had a successful upload- and maybe I forgot to “disconnect” via the program and now it no longer reads the profiles from the light or uploads them.
Ticket sent.
Also their tech support link gives me a 404.
Just received my Asgard 
Bought the Sanyo 2600mAh flattops together with some magnets.
The magnets keep shifting when I try to screw in the head. Tried quite a few times before finally getting it.
For those using flattops, any tips to using the magnet? Or I guess I should just use 2x18650 button tops.
Managed to pair to Samsung Galaxy S2, my laptop, as well as my tablet, but the bluetooth is very very weak and needs really close proximity. Followed the instruction to point the head of Asgard to the screen, and the connection still fails most of the time. Then when I finally got the connection, quickly send the profile over! :party:
So far have only tried sending profiles from S2 and tablet and both work fine, but the connection is very not stable.
Mode programming is fun. If you’re in the profile that the Asgard is currently using, then pressing on the mode would activate the mode! But the maximum distance I’ve achieved was a mere 50cm, and I have to move it closer. If only the distance could be further. Future upgrades should definitely use a stronger Bluetooth module? If only the bluetooth range could be much much longer, then I can really “remote” control my light from the other end of the room! And that was what I thought I could do!
The throw is good too! At 100% it is brighter and appears to out-throw my Fandyfire HD2010.
The 18mA moonlight mode is the lowest moonlight I’ve ever seen! Very dim and nice.
Overall it’s a fun purchase. Glad to support the initial development.
Congrats on your Asgard….I think the bluetooth must be class 2 and not class 1, I asked about it but never got a reply; class 1 would certainly give better range.
Thanks! 
I think it should be Class 3 instead, range of approx 1m. Class 2 has range of approx 10m.
You actually Want Class 3? Why?? Class 3 is very uncommon and rated @ 1mW & 1m as you stated……Hmm maybe it has a Class 3 in it and that is why the range is not that great; I just figured it was just the metal case that was causing the range to be less than desired and that would cause that effect……but yea Class 3 would really limit it.
Class 1 has a power output of 100mW which gives you 100 meters depending upon environmental conditions. I really thought they used Class 2 which is 2.5mW going out to 10m which is very common.
Do what I did with Magnet use. Get yourself from Crazy Glue in gel form. I got mine at the Dollar Tree for, you guessed it, $1. Put your magnet on the battery and center it. Once centered put a small bead of the crazygel around the base of the magnet. This will keep the magnet from moving on you as well as keep it firmly in place if you drop the light.
Just remember, no glue under the magnet. Just put a bead around the base perimeter. ;)
I was saying the one currently in the Asgard should be Class 3. I also initially thought they would use Class 2! Thought I could control the light across the room, but no 
Thanks for suggesting. Glue under the magnet would be cool, there goes the battery!
Instead of a magnet, I use a solder blob on the positive end. No way it will move around 
With my previous-now-destroyed driver, I was connecting more or less reliably at 8-inches to a foot. One time it seemed almost 3-feet . . . well, an arm's length anyway. It would hardly connect at all if it was parallel to my phone but all I had to do is move the phone ahead of the reflector a little bit and it hooked up and stayed connected fairly stable.
Ahhh, those were the days . . .

You know, they really should have incorporated WIFI, rather than BT, which is what I originally guessed was what they were doing. I think it’d be much more useful, and would open up a huge® number of possibilities… JMO though :(…
Just out of curiosity, anyone experimented to see if the BT range improves with the reflector out and the antenna clear of the body? And/or has anyone having connection issues tried that?
I think it is Not Good that there is an Antenne Printed on the PCb and that the wire to the Other Antenna is nonshielded, so we get One Big weird Antenna.
Yeah, mines not really connecting at all.
Agreed... I will be cutting the trace for the onboard antenna, leaving just enough to allow attaching the extension. I have 2 drivers, I may do one each way and see if it makes any difference.
I gotta tell ya…pretty happy I didn’t pony up the dough to get the Asgard…essentially paying to be FT’s guinea pig.
Beyond the hype…wouldn’t it make much more sense to use a wired USB connection instead of wireless? The bluetooth has to be about 1-3 feet away from your phone/PC…so theres no big advantage there.
Sure…you could easily program it out in the field…but you could do the same if wired. Yeah…would be easier to accomplish this wirelessly (assuming the wireless works…lol) But realistically…how many times will most normal people have to do that? I’m betting once in a bluetooth moon. :bigsmile:
I think the technology is cool and all…but in my opinion the Asgard should have gone through much more testing before launch.
I tell ya, I know they’ll get it resolved- but I’m a little irritated that I was sorta forced into buying it before may 31st to get the $10 discount for a light that still isn’t ready for production. Right now I paid $43 for a light that is a 3 mode without memory. That and I scuffed my reflector trying to get it to work- and it’s still a no go.
And if I buy a set of batteries for it, like I’m going to need- it’s suddenly a $60ish light. A light that we’re all paying to be the beta testers for.
