This is designed for an ATTiny25V-based driver with off-time capacitor
and FET+7135 power channel configuration.
The interface is as follows:
(see bistro-ui.png for a quick start)
While off:
- Fully click and release to turn the light on. It will go to the
first mode or the last-used mode, depending on whether you enabled
mode memory.
While on:
- Short tap: Do a short (less than 0.5s) half-press to go forward to
the next mode.
- Med tap: Do a medium (0.5s to 1.5s) half-press to go backward to
the previous mode, if medium-press is enabled.
- Long tap: Do a long (longer than 1.5s) half-press to reset to the
first mode (if mode memory is turned off).
- Or fully click and release to turn the light off.
- Short tap a bunch of times (15+ taps, or until the light stops
turning on) to enter config mode.
Hidden modes:
- Go backward from moon to access the hidden modes. They are, in
order:
- Turbo (just like the regular turbo)
- Tactical / police strobe (7 Hz / 14 Hz alternating)
- Battery check / beacon mode
It should blink out the voltage in whole numbers then a '.' then
tenths. So, for 3.6V it would blink out "--- . ------".
Voltage range is from about 2.5V to 4.4V
- Biking flasher (2-level stutter beacon, 1 Hz)
Configuration options:
The config mode has several options. It will blink out a number to
show which option is active, then "buzz" or "stutter" for a bit.
Click during the "buzz" to select that option. Some options may
enter a secondary config mode after the light turns back on.
Options include:
1. Muggle mode / simple mode. Good while lending the light to
others. It overrides other config settings temporarily:
- low/med/high, in that order, with high at about half power.
- no moon, no memory, no medium-presses, no hidden modes
- the only config option is the option to exit muggle mode
2. Mode memory. Off or on.
3. Moon. Select to turn moon mode on or off. This is in addition
to the other regular modes, so you get 2 to 9 levels when moon
is enabled.
4. Mode order. Low to high, or high to low.
5. Mode group. Choice of 1 to 8 regular modes from low to turbo.
After clicking, the light should come on in a special
group-select mode. In this mode, it slowly blinks 8 times,
pauses, then repeats. Turn the light off after N blinks to
select mode group N. The number of levels in each group is
equal to the group number, and all levels within are
evenly-spaced.
Example: To select low-med-high, let it blink three times then
click the button.
6. Medium-press. Off or on. If on, a medium-press will allow
going backward through the mode sequence, and hidden blinky
modes will be accessible.
7. Thermal calibration. Set the temperature at which the light
will begin stepping down to cool itself off. After clicking to
select this, the light should turn on in a special thermal
calibration mode. It will start at a medium-low brightness,
wait a second or two, then step up to turbo.
- To turn off thermal regulation, click within the first second
(while the output is relatively low).
- To set a new maximum temperature, leave the light on until
you think it is too hot, then turn it off. From this point
on, the light will use that new temperature as its maximum
allowed heat.
Note that there may be a delay between when you feel the heat
and when the MCU feels the heat, so the value saved may be a
little bit lower than expected.
8. Factory reset. Change all settings back to default.</code></pre>
">Aluminum sets are still open for reservation. 400 sets are being made."
">We are still great on the Aluminum X6/X5 set, so that is still open to make a reservation. But please speak up because it will be closed soon!"
Of course, the above speaks for itself...
I think this is not fair at all. Was planning to do my 1st BLF GB ever and that already seems failed, as I have to wait until the beginning of next month to place my order.
As requested by you, I've reserved 1 AL-set NW (number 219) and expecting to make use of that reservation within a time frame of at least two weeks (not just two days!). I’m afraid my reserved flashlight will go to someone else (who didn't made reservation at all).
On this site a good way of searching a thread is just what you did: ask in a polite way what you are searching for. Usually someone in a helpful mood has the answer for you, and usually over here it is not a problem asking any smart/difficult/dumb/obvious/lazy question
I must have missed the part about being promised a two week window in which to make our reserved purchase. I assumed all along that I better be ready to buy when the codes were given to us.
Sam - I do not think you have anything to worry about. Unless people receive in the next couple day and go crazy there will still be AL sets available. We never guarantee how long except that usually a week is sufficient. At last count there were at least 200 AL sets remaining and today is the 25th (Maybe 26th wherever you are).
Sam, it took 6 months to reserve 239 sets, there will be plenty of sets left in 2 weeks. Krono said 400 sets were made, no way they will sell 161 sets in 2 weeks.
It was stated that the NW tint in the XPL-Hi was a problem. Krono asked for those that did not "need" NW to order the CW...and many did. That does not nor did it guarantee we would be getting any specific tint because the XPL Hi is difficult to get, and very well known for this problem. If your main concern in NW..order ASAP and you should be ok.
For anyone who has ordered, and then received a tracking #, can you post:
- Which type of shipping you chose (air registered or priority direct)?
What the 1st part and last part of your tracking # is (the 1st 2 letters and the last 2 letters)?
The reason I’m asking/wondering is that my order was supposed to be changed to shipped priority direct (at my request), but the tracking # I got starts with LS and ends with CN, i.e., “LS………CN”, and it’s coming up as “China EMS”, which I think is the “Air registered” and not the “priority direct”?
Thanks,
Jim
EDIT: Also BG’s website still says “Air parcel register” and:
10:28Processed Through Sort FacilityFLYTEXPRESS-CN
09:26AcceptanceFLYTEXPRESS-CN
I purchased two flashlight sets. Both have tracking numbers that begin with LS and end with CN. One is being shipped via Priority Direct Mail; the other, Air Parcel Register. All these details show on the invoices I downloaded from the Banggood web site.
While this is true, the listing on BangGood includes a link to the first page of this thread. The title of which is now “BLF Kronos X6/X5 GB - Al code public! 1/24/16” and the third line shows the coupon code. Its not like the coupon code is only available to BLF members, it is linked to from the product listing.
I was going to wait a bit myself, but when I read the forum this morning and found these posts, I immediately went and pulled the trigger.
Thanks for the GB, and the weekly drama of the last few months.
Why does it seem like waiting is even harder once the buy button gets clicked?
