Please consider using an Attiny1616 instead of the Attiny85 or Attiny1634 (Emissar/Noctigon) commonly used, it has several significant advantages :

• small QFN-20 3x3mm footprint, very similar to the QFN-20 Sonix MCU on the GT-FC40 22mm driver, the only major difference is that VCC and VSS pins are swapped, this means than if you ever want to offer other drivers with Anduril in the future there will be very little work to adapt them if they already use the QFN-20 Sonix MCU, or even the MSOP10 version since it is smaller.

• 1 pin (UDPI) + power + GND for programing vs 4 pins + power + GND (see tactical_grizzly’s comment just above) , simpler layouting and less used space when providing programing pads on the driver.

• factory calibrated temperature sensor.

• has a DAC (1:1159 dimming ratio), hence the driver doesn’t need a LDO if it is used instead of PWM control for constant current drivers.

It is fully supported by Anduril and a production light has already been commercialised with it (Sofirn SP10S pro).

This!

Attiny1616 3 pin layout w/ GChart adapter should be the way moving forward.

Simon could even use his 12 group driver by default if he uses the Attiny1616 and 3 pin flashing layout.

Imagine an M21D/F GT-FC40 running Andruil!

Funny you mention that. I’ve got a K1 12V driver coming in from Hank specifically to shoehorn into my M21D FC40. I’ll do a post about it once I complete the project.

I would delightfully give up the Emisar/Noctigon flashing layout for those benefits. Wonderful suggestion!

You could try to implement Anduril into your new 16x LED flashlights.

OK, I will produce the driver with the Anduril version in small batches

Seconding this, I’d recommend this chip. I’m also very excited about having an Anduril Convoy.

Hi Simon,

Any plans for another round of copper S2+s? Please, pretty please! Same as before with a clear rubber boot.

I preferred the look of the last traditional looking knurled S2+ version vs the smooth one.

Thanks for your consideration.

Side switch :confounded:

Give me a good rear e switch :partying_face:

medium to large size, anduril2, rear switch :face_with_monocle: :+1:

We have to salute Simon for trying out Anduril ! I agree with the sentiment about getting a nice and smooth implementation of Anduril2 (IC, flashing pads, moonlight, custom SimpleUI). Convoy + Anduril seems like a perfect match for tinkerers and I hope to see this tryout succeed.

I’d love to see these again, but alongside a brass and titanium option!

[DTales]

A small batch of Anduril drivers for us enthusiasts sounds like a wonderful idea. Thank you Simon

I still have some copper S2+ in my inventory, but with very minor flaws

Now that is interesting! Definitely looking forward to reading how that goes.

Simon,

When can we expect 519a 5700k S21D to be available? I’d like to buy some as gifts for hunting buddies.

Also, would it be possible to get some alternative TIR options for the S21D? The TIR that Sofirn uses on their IF25A works quite well on the S21D and gives and a more usable hotspot, but I hate having to order from another vendor just to play Lego with my Convoy lights.

I would buy a T2 copper. If you could request a copper host from the manufacturer?

That sounds good to me. I just want the host.

Please let me know how I can buy one. Should I message you on AliExpress?
