Having trouble how? It’s hard for anyone to help you if we don’t know what, specifically, you need help with.
It looks like the body of the post hasn’t appeared. Not sure how that happened.
Anyway, I soft press 10 or so times until it does a “buzz” but it just seems to go onto a pulse, it doesn’t do one flash, then two flashes, then three flashes etc. If I soft click again it counts out 5 flashes constantly. So I don’t know what to do.
Is it a new light, or one you’ve had for a long time?
That sounds like it could be a bad driver. S2+ is easy to take apart and replace the driver if that is the issue.
It sounds like you’re only engaging bike mode, not getting into the programming mode. When you half press one more time, it goes to the battery check. Keep half pressing until the light looks like it’s off while you’re pressing the button, then stop. The “buzz” should last about half a second or so.
Did you add a lighted tailswitch? Those aren’t on speaking terms with biscotti drivers.
It’s brand new from the Convoy shop on Aliexpress. I did say this when I posted the first message but the message body didn’t appear for some reason. It just arrived today.
It’s got standard metal tailswitch. It’s standard.
It’s definitely doing a buzz. Then I soft click and it just does a pulse every second, not counting out configuration settings.
Henk4U2 was referring to the switch inside, not the metal button!
Can you please link (to the store) the exact light you bought?
This one:
￡13.07 | Convoy S2+ with luminus sst40 ,copper DTP board and ar-coated inside, Temperature protection,18650 flashlight,torch light
Honestly it tells you it has 12 modes, I didn’t get it customised.
It says on the box S2+ SST40-6500K-12
Thanks for the link!
Quoting the page:
I guess you need to reach 20 clicks instead of 10, according to specs!
Initially they were 10 clicks with old Biscotti drivers, but now it changed.
Try and see what you get :+1:
I guess these photos are not opening .
Do you use Imgur or another image host?
I still can’t get it working even with 20 clicks. What makes it harder is one of the modes looks like it’s off but then it starts flashing - so how are you supposed to know when you’ve reached the right point?
Have you checked this video?
It was made from Simon of the Convoy Store.
It shows the 10 clicks driver (old version).
But it also shows how the light is supposed to behave in terms of blinks to enter the configuration.
The amount of time the flashlight blinks (from 1 to 12) tells you in which group mode you are.
If you want 3 modes (1-20-100%), let it blink 5 times.
If you want 1 mode (100%), let it blink 12 times.
Funtastic explained it below.
You just tap hard out really quickly and the light will go to moonlight on every tap once you’ve reached config. The non biscotti version goes into moonlight level not off.
I have to say I’m finding it a sodding nightmare.
What do you mean by “tap hard out”?
The tapping has to be very very quick
