I think Comfy removed the PFM bits, which would make the ramp less smooth but more consistent across devices and different voltages. Combining PWM and PFM allows really smooth ramping even between individual PWM levels, but it’s annoyingly sensitive to the exact hardware and even battery voltage. PWM alone gets stair-steppy at the bottom end, and PFM smoothes out those steps. (PFM changes the frequency of the pulses, PWM changes the width of the pulses, so it ran anywhere from 9 kHz to 20 kHz at the lower levels)
IIRC, he also changed the ramp shape from logarithmic to quadratic, and may have reduced the bottom to fast PWM=0 (instead of phase-correct PWM=1). I just haven’t made time to include everything yet; got interrupted and didn’t get back to it.
Hmm… maybe. It doesn’t yet track clock ticks while the light is off, which makes it difficult to detect the difference between “click, pause, click” and “click-click” from on. I need to add that anyway though, for the Olight Baton UI (double-click while on to access a blinky mode). The issue is that it may cause the LED to stay on at moon mode for a half second or so when the light gets shut off (because the MCU will still be running, waiting for a double click). Also, I might run out of ROM space because it’s already right at the limit.
Currently it also has an exception for double-click when the memorized mode is already the highest. This allows the turbo mode to be used for signalling, but causes the UI to be slightly different when turbo is the memorized mode.
Edit: We should probably PM to avoid further cluttering RMM’s thread.
Wait he wrote a bell curve on the ramp? That’s what I was thinking about but the memory limits are pretty strict on the 13a… Been writing one for the last couple days Just posted it in the star thread. Anyway you could host this Toy? Might be useful code makers anyway in the future.
M6, L5, & L6 are in and accounted for. Hang tight for awesome deals, coming this evening via the newsletter. If you're thinking about placing an order, hang tight for a little bit, it will be worth it!
Richard, do you plan to offer a DIY parts kit for the zener mod fet driver boards? Also, can you confirm that the new Convoy M1 still has a reflector with a hole large enough for the MTG2?
That new Convoy M1 with the integrated MCPCB shelf is just begging for a MT-G2, a fet driver, and 2 of the new e-fest purple 18350’s. Oh, do you sell kevlar gloves to protect my hands?
I’ve been away from flashlight building for the summer, but just built a new S3 that I got from MTN this week. Went together beautifully.
Oh, I just signed up for the newsletter right now at 7:43 p.m. Central Time, did I miss this evenings newsletter?
Someone bought a lot of them. More on the way, hopefully before the end of the sale period.
