Thanks and Praise for Anduril 2025-07-07, configurable Dim Aux only, for POVD and Button lights

LED Flashlights – General Info
1

I found a specific benefit that gave me a reason to update to Firmware 2025-07-07

I had been avoiding using POVD and would routinely turn it off completely. The reason was that I objected to the High Brightness Aux after using very low outputs in the dark of night.

Now I can disable High Brightness but still have the benefit of Dim Brightness POVD.

On my TS10 and TS10SG, which have no button lights, It allows me to turn off Bright POVD Aux and still keep Dim POVD Aux.. win win

On my D3AA which Does have a button light, it allows me to turn Bright Button light off and only keep Dim Button light. These also apply to POVD

Anduril continues to impress and entertain.. kudos to ToyKeeper for the ongoing feature enhancements.

from the online Manual: two new features added to the Voltage config menu that also controls POVD:

  1. Aux low ramp level. Controls behavior of aux button LEDs while the main LEDs are on. Below this ramp level, button LEDs will not be lit up while the main LEDs are on. At or above this level, button LEDs light up at the “low” brightness level. Setting it to 0 keeps the button LEDs off completely while the main LEDs are on. Also controls brightness of post-off voltage display.

  2. Aux high ramp level. At or above this ramp level, button LEDs light up at the “high” brightness level. Setting it to 0 disables button’s high aux mode while the main LEDs are on. Also controls brightness of post-off voltage display.

I just have to say here… @wolfgirl42 did most of the work on that patch. I mostly just polished it a bit, after sitting on the patch for way, way too long. The feature could have been added a long time ago if I was better about keeping up with pull requests.

Can I suggest a soft-lock feature? On my lights with sensitive buttons (X4Q Comet 2024), the light can only realistically be carried in lockout. I’ve heard Hank’s metal buttons also have this problem, and doing 4C all the time is annoying because of my clumsy ogre hands. I would really prefer to do 1H or 2H to unlock to the memorized/last used ramp level.

I use something which I call “pocket UI”. It shifts most functions from off by one click, so 1H gives you momentary low, 2C enters memorized brightness, 2H turns it on at lowest level 3C highest level etc.

It’s a custom patch and not adapted to the latest Anduril yet. So a little bit of programming and compiling involved.
