I think BLF might log you out if you’ve been away for more than a day or two. I seem to stay logged in as long as I’m reading BLF every day, but if I’m too busy to do that, I get logged out after a couple of days.
Considering Tungsten is a far more common heavy element distributed throughout our Galaxy, the majority of other flashlight using civilizations are probably more than content with incandescent “Hotwire” designs for their portable illumination needs...
Is flashing firmware to different ATtiny the same process? Or are there differences? What are ATtiny25/45/85-based drivers I can buy available in the market? Just want to try flashing for the first time.
Does anyone know if the Eagle Eye X2R can be used with a lighted tailcap? Or, the other way around, does a lighted tailcap work properly on the EE X2R?
I tried without and with a number of bleeder resistor values but did not get the lighted tail working on the X2R without it messing with the timings (and I think I remember there was something wrong with the charging also). The next mode memory that Jason got is in fact the light seeing any amount of time, including infinity, as a short “off” , which is interpreted as a half-press and thus going to the next mode.
This is kind of an old thread so I don’t remember it real well, but I’m sure there was somebody that said they added a bleeder resistor and the light worked normally. Maybe they were wrong or I’m just remembering it wrong?
You remembered it right :person_facepalming: , look what I just found in my stash?
…with perfectly functioning UI with last mode memory. And now I remember what the problem was: another X2R I modded with a FET-driver, on top of the stock charging board. All ki d of things went wrong there, including the lighted tail. Later I did a lighted tail on a stock X2R and that went fine. In the light in the pic I found that I used a 670 Ohm bleeder, I found a place for it on the spring-side of the driver.
