Wow, that is a very tight fit! Actually too tight for a SOIC clip to update the firmware. Still possible with soldering or a more expensive pogo pin adapter, though.

Is that simple FET Anduril driver or linear one? I hope that driver to be improved with buck or boost version. SammyHP to flash that driver is very easy. You can also easily solder some wires to chip. Best part is that as any Convoy light it is easy to be disassembled.

the contact of the brass ring to the drive circuit and the contact of the switch to the brass ring.

FET+1 judging by the pictures. (2xAON7544 + 1xAMC7135)

I wonder if there’s a max current or if it’s completely unregulated. We really don’t need another SC31 Pro…

That is so cool! Can’t wait!

I’m not seeing a shunt resistor nor any auxiliary IC for linear current regulation for the FET channel on the board, so, apparently, no current regulation.

The news that Convoy is using anduril was great, but every piece of information we’ve got since then has been a let down. Anti-hype.

Unregulated FET+1 has been done to death (Sofirn) I was kind of hoping for Convoy to create an SC31 Pro killer, not a clone.

I was thinking the same thing, I was also hoping for a 1616 or at least a 1634 so all of Anduril2 would fit.

I assume it will be fine as long as you don’t want to update your firmware. It’s hard to believe, but Anduril can actually work out of the box.

But just imagine there’s an annoying bug that could be fixed with a $10 flashing adapter in one minute. And now imagine Simon got 150 drivers, maybe even assembled in a flashlight and then he notices this bug. Will he disassemble all lights, solder cables to every microcontroller and update the firmware, would he trash the drivers or would he sell them anyway and annoy customers with a flashlight containing known bugs? On the other hand with flashing pads it is a job of less than two hours to update all 150 flashlights without disassembling them.

I wonder which firmware version and configuration Simon will use for his driver.

Ok ok, I eat popcorn while Simon takes apart 50 torches😂
I’m joking

Wait, I for some reason thought it’s gonna be a 6V with andruil. I’m kind of disappointed.

I don’t think there is a light with hi cri emitter, andruil, boost or high driver, 21700 and usb-c charging. It would be great to have one from Convoy. Are there any plans for something like that?

Given the driver hardware probably a 2019 version of anduril.

That’s what I thought too. That would be really disappointing if that’s not the case.

9337

I’m going to ask the manufacturer to reserve a resistor position on the driver so that the maximum current is six amperes.

Are 1616 and 1634 two larger MCU models?
The size of the driver circuit used on the S21E flashlight is too small.

They have upgraded specs, but are built in a package smaller than the SOIC Attiny85.

T1616 is QFN-20 3x3mm, same footprint as the sonix MCU in QFN you use in more recent version of your drivers, with it making Anduril version of the QFN-20 drivers should require minimal modifications of the PCB, the main difference is that the GND and VCC pins are swapped, some PWM out pins might not be in the same place but for example for the GT-FC40 22mm driver it is.

The T85 shouldn’t be used for new designs, current Anduril revisions don’t even fit on it, I’d argue that the T1634 used in Emisar/Noctigon shouldn’t be as well for main reason that they (with T85) require user temperature calibration.
Also it is highly recommended to provide flashing pads on the back of the driver, Anduril being a community firmware the ability to easily update the firmware for new improvements/fixes is one of its main feature.
And since the T1616 only need one wire+GND+power for flashing the pads are much easier to place on the back of the driver (standard layout is UPDI GND V+ with 1.27mm pitch)
