I really don’t see an issue with the UI. It actually works just fine for me. I keep mine in UI 3 because I like the ramping mode. It’s also easy just to double click to hit a brighter setting or lower, whichever one you happen to be in at the time. There’s 3 UIs to choose from…UI 1 is pretty straight forward.
What is your opinion ChibiM? Or this is just another thread to talk about the M43 and claim is one of those light that has no use, and the many negative things you have kept saying along the time about it.
It would need to be single click to turn the light on and off.
Hold switch while light is on, and ramps levels.
Hold switch while light is off, turns on moonlight mode.
Single click turns on light in last used mode including turbo.
Give me this ui, I promise to purchase at least two more units.
I love the UI for this light. Would not want it for a smaller tail switch like but I think is brilliant for a forward switch turbo centric light like this.
Oh, I think I misread blue8llz UI. I am a person that likes to Click to change modes, rather than holding the switch.
I actually like having a Clicky at the back for complete power off, and side switch for switching between modes. (but that wont work with the meteor)
Double click to Turbo, Long press to Low. normal click to cycle through modes.
I’d love to put my code on this light. I looked into what it would take though, and there’s an awful lot of twisty assembly code with comments only in Russian. And its author warns against anyone modding it because it apparently “fails open”, meaning code bugs could cause explosions.
But if I could, I’d like to run an improved version of my ramping UI on it.
While off:
Single short press turns light on in last-used mode.
Double click goes to turbo.
Long press turns light on in lowest mode. Keep holding for a few seconds to enter or leave lock-out mode.
While on:
Single short press turns light off.
Double click goes to (or from) turbo.
Press-and-hold ramps smoothly and pretty quickly until button is released. Release and press again within a second or so to reverse and ramp the other way.
… and probably some extras, like for triple click.
