First, Anduril doesn’t work with mechanical switches at all. What you describe works for newest Anduril versions of regular e-switch lights (currently only the newest D4v2’s, not the first batch). Since FW3A doesn’t really allow you mechanical lockout there is an alternate reset method (I think it’s 13 clicks and hold from off) but again that would not be on an FW3A yet unless you flash it yourself.
What Jason describes is only how to get the ramp top and bottom back to default. He shouldn’t call that a reset.
Because there is now an actual function called factory reset and it does a lot more. This resets just one setting. I imagine before too many more FW3A runs they will probably have the true “factory reset” but your steps will still be useful if you dont want to lose all your other settings.
Besides, people almost never accidentally change the temperature settings. It’s always the ramp levels. Probably because it’s so easy to accidentally get to. The temperature settings are harder to access by accident. I don’t think we even need the factory reset that ToyKeeper added. It might be better to change the way we access the ramp level adjustments. 4 clicks while on seems too easy. I think most folks either keep it stock or else try a few adjustments and then leave it.
That’s it, the second link! For some reason I had never found that folder. Can ya tell, I am a network engineer, not a programmer? Code when I have to, not when i want to.
Try changing the settings. Maybe make the ramp levels super narrow. Then try the factory reset and see if the ramp levels are back to stock. Or maybe change stepped mode to 5 steps. Something you can notice.
I’ve obviously never experienced the FW3A with the factory reset, so I don’t know how you activate it. Just 13 fast clicks?
You can try both reset methods. When it does reset it blinks quickly for a few seconds and turns off (or goes to low/moon?) while you are holding the button.
FW3A physical design has changed. Unknown when all inventory will switch over. Command tube has been extended. Tailcap added retaining ring, nub is now white and bigger.
Not sure what difference the new nub will make (white better able to shed heat? ) but the retaining ring is a smart move in case people continue to neglect the warnings and open the tail to replace the battery.
