Hey guys I have a MCU for my fet driver that has Universal guppydrv, I installed it into my light and only has low,med,high and to switch modes u have to hold the tailcap down for 2sec did I not solder something right onto my driver to get all the modes ?
guppydrv has it’s modes organized in mode groups, the user can switch to the next group by 8 quite fast clicks (<0,25s). The number of blinks then indicates the current group.
You could have a mode group for outdoors (High, Med), one for indoors (moon, low, med, high), one with just high (for tacticool and signaling purposes), one with special modes,…; ramping is available, too.
Memory is a per-group setting, i.e. can be different for each group. Options are no-memory, classic cycle-through-all-modes memory, and short-cycle memory (see above).
Starting at high, starting at low, strobe or not, memory or not - you can have a mode group for each situation.
guppydrv has battery monitoring with automatic step-down on low battery level, and the beacon mode starts with a battery indicator (a number of blinks); see lupodrv.
Thanks but I don’t think I have something right, it’s low,med,high and when I click 8 times it’s does nothing ? I didn’t know if Universal guppydrv required anything special done when soldering up the driver
