Yeah, possibly if I can find a way to squeeze it in. Can you confirm which mode lack thermal regulation? I think it’s more than just candle mode. Does it apply to all of the blinkies? For some reason, I thought this was fixed in a later version.
Flawless work as always.
It’s awesome to see so many familiar folks over here. So glad this community is growing.
This is going to sound silly, but I didn’t realize that I could post in-line images. I added both per your suggestion, and it’s much more functional. Thanks for getting me to finally look into it!
Yes, maybe if I had Adobe Acrobat Professional, I might be able to produce high-quality PDFs. But the cost is insane, and I just haven’t had a need for it. Perhaps I’ll have better results if I can ever get the diagrams switched over to an open-source alternative for Visio.
It appears in the diagram because it works. Just tested it again on my dual-channel D4V2, and it works like a charm.
That’s an awesome reference website! Thanks for sharing.
I originally saved the file as a PDF in Visio, and as you noted, the results were not good. Then I tried printing it to PDF in a couple of different ways, and I think the result is much better. Take a look at it again, and let me know what you think. The Simple UI diagram will always be smaller because that’s how the source is. When Visio saves it to a PNG file, it chops it down to just the canvas size needed for the diagram. Then when you print it, it gets enlarged to cover the whole page.
It looks like you can install avrdude on a Mac via Mac Ports.
I don’t have a D2, but I assume that it uses a T1634 just like a D4V2. I believe that pymcuprog is for UDPI programmers, and your Hank programmer is USBasp which requires avrdude for programming. I realize that this post is for Windows, but it covers command-line usage of avrdude. It might help. I’m kind of shocked that I don’t already have this documented somewhere, but I’ve been using zFlasher on Android for quite a while. It can handle UDPI and USBasp programmers.
As a side note, I believe that Hank uses a custom version of Anduril 2 for his lights. For example, I think that he exposes more of the “advanced” features in the Simple UI than ToyKeeper does. Of course, that’s the beauty of open-source software. You can customize it. In any case, my point is that you can keep current with Anduril 2 while also customizing it for your preferences if you’re willing to learn to modify the code. I’ve gotten to the point where I just stick with stock Anduril 2 in most cases.
Were you able to update the firmware?
Unfortunately, I have not been keeping historical versions of the diagrams. I checked the file on Dropbox, and it only goes back a month (to a July 9th version of the diagram for r725 which still uses 3C to change channels). Someone once suggested that I use GitHub to track changes for things like this, so I may look into it in the near future.
I don’t have a D2, but I believe that it uses the same firmware as the D4V2 dual-channel. This would be the latest version from earlier this week (08/07). Once you get on the latest version, my diagrams should apply.
Just added a PDF link. Let me know how it works out for you.
All excellent suggestions as usual. I’m updating the diagrams now.
Fixed all. Might be a little wordy on #4, so let me know what you think. I think it’s a really useful add, and I wanted it to be clear. Thanks!
OK, now I understand what you were saying. I figured it was a misunderstanding on my part. I never realized that you couldn’t configure the smooth ramp for the Simple UI - likely because I never use the Simple UI. Thanks for pointing this out. I updating the diagram now…
Yeah, I hear you. I also struggle with resistor swaps with a regular soldering iron. It’s a pain.
OK, I finally got a chance to make an update…
That triple 219c could handle a lot more current (with more heat, of course). Have you considered a sense resistor swap in that 5A driver? You can dial it in pretty nicely.
18350 is my favorite format as well. Too bad there isn’t something like a 21400 format.
