Code now public! BLF A6 FET+7135 Light. Short 18350 tubes and Unanodized Lights Available

Any chance of getting the drivers…… I m kidding! Hell I’m not even sure what to do with a driver if I had one.

The real question is…. Samples, but not from EE???

+1

FWIW, I have no interest in restricting use or making profit on my BLF-related code. I don’t really even care about attribution, aside from the minimal amount required to implement “copyleft” or “share alike” in our legal system. I’m just interested in empowering people to do whatever they want, providing tools and legal rights to help them follow their inspiration.

BLF is sort of a “maker” community. Go make stuff, and tell us how you did it! It’s a beautiful thing.

Should I take a picture of my “work bench”? It would show I am truly gifted at making a total disaster of a mess! :slight_smile: I can show y’all how to do that if you want. lol

Yeah Dale - I think that we would all like to see it.

TIA!

What?!? New samples no one knows about???
This could be HUGE NEWS!!!

Someone is payng attention…

I’m not saying anythng
:cowboy_hat_face:

Times like these Krono’s avitar is perfect…

I think bugsy’s real talent is of the “hype man” type

Must be that plan B bugsy mentioned some days ago… You guys are killing me.

Yes please do that, i have actually picked up tips on tools & parts i haven’t realised i needed, several times from pictures of mods with the work bench in the background.

I've seen Dales work bench. No not that one. The one with the drill press on it. This guy is a true master craftsman with what he achieves with what he has.

I tested IOS V6 3D on this flashlight alltogether with A17DD driver ( the 7135 version) and the result is great: ofc i used TK`s firmware( thanks for the FL TK, great job indeed)
It could even compare to my lovely X6 EDC
5.5 amps with 25r, with a fresh battery the body gets pretty hot quite fast, so 30 sec turbo timer is a must

V6 3D has great tint btw, if you love 5000k with kinda pinky tint thats your emitter

I dont know how it will “look” combined with an Ar coated glass … could be an issue…

I updated the UI diagram, and I’d like to know if it makes sense. It’s an attempt to visually explain the BLF A6 interface.

Edit: The way config mode works is:

  1. Fast-press a bunch of times until it stops lighting up.
  2. After a brief pause, it’ll blink twice. Turn the light off between those two blinks to toggle the mode group.
  3. If you didn’t turn the light off, it’ll then pause and blink two more times. Turn the light off between these two blinks to toggle mode memory.
  4. If you didn’t turn the light off, it’ll exit back to a regular mode.

When you turn the light back on, it will have new settings.

Speaking about my favourite XP-L V6 3D :heart_eyes:

If you guys haven’t noticed, Hank at IOS have gotten some new stock of them :smiley:

Pick up some before they are gone again, i can’t imagine we get lucky enough to get the V6 3D as the NW option in the GB, of course i hope i am wrong, but i am not taking any chances :wink:

I have ordered everything i needed, including a triple 20mm Noctigon 3XP with some lovely 3D’s on it for when the A6-SE gets done ;), and enough noctigon 20mm (3) & 16mm (1) to make the needed spacer. The XP-L V6 3D Noctigon 3XP cost $25.50 and you have to ask for it because it wasn’t listed as an option.

EDIT I forget to say i also got a Carlco 1507 20mm from IOS for the triple.

Hmm strange, i just checked IOS and the site is down for a 50hour claimed maintenance :~

One question though, the carclo optics. I have no experience with them, so i guess i have too pick up one each of the triple 20mm to see what i like best.

Given that I have read a previous post which explained how to change from 7 mode to 4 mode, most of it makes sense to me and forms the basis for an invaluable summary.

I still don’t understand the mode memory off/on part. Or the blink, clink?, blick comments.

Many thanks yet again!

@ TK, makes sense to me. I think I got it quite easily with that diagram.

My previous post was a reply to TK’s last post

Colliedoggy, the taps (at config mode) make the led flash to indicate you have reached mode group selection, then you do the required number of taps to select the mode group, then the led blinks to show it has registered and then it will blink again after a pause so you can set mode memory on or off.
Correct?

Looks pretty simple and great diagram
