  • I did not know at the time blinky modes were conflicting with thermal throttle.

    Im glad you shared your experience, I also did not know the blinkies have no Thermal Regulation…

    I may use it at full power again (while shooting), but turning it off between takes and cooling it in water.

    ok, I hope that works out for you… imo, the problem is that you are using too high an output, it obviously gets too hot when you use “full power”… Candle mode was intended to be used at very low outputs… you are imho, misusing the candle mode for something that is not its intended purpose, and you are allowing the light to get too hot by not holding it in your hand.

    but, if you insist… I suggest you stand the light in a glass of water, so the host will be cooled during the excessively high output…

    I just checked with avrdude (on Linux), and I had no difficulties with pinging the device, backing up, and updating, while using the instructions over at https://anduril.click/flashing/avrdude.html.

    SOLVED!

    Thank you very much!

    I was able to successfully ping and backup eeprom and hex file from my D2 with the following commands:

    ping:

    avrdude -p t1634 -c usbasp -n

    backup eeprom:

    avrdude -p t1634 -c usbasp -U eeprom:r:desktop/D2eeprom-backup.hex:i

    backup D2 stock hex:

    avrdude -p t1634 -c usbasp -U flash:r:desktop/oldD2-firmware.hex:i

    Thanks!



  • I believe that pymcuprog is for UDPI programmers, and your Hank programmer is USBasp which requires avrdude for programming.

    thanks for the education, that is very helpful

    Im technologically challenged atm… my iMac wont run avrdude, and I dont have an android phone to run zflasher

    you can keep current with Anduril 2 while also customizing it for your preferences if you’re willing to learn to modify the code

    the apps needed to do that, dont run on my iMac, and Im not motivated to modify code

    I’ve gotten to the point where I just stick with stock Anduril 2 in most cases.

    I feel the same way… unless there is a hex file available that offers a feature I value, for example, I reflash the SC21 Pro, to add the lower lows available in later firmware

    but I have not heard of a reason to reflash my D2… the stock firmware works fine for me, so far

    much appreciate your help understanding my options, and limitations

    enjoy your weekend ;-)

    thanks for following up ;-)

    No, I do not yet know the correct command line syntax

    I would welcome any help… here is the backstory:

    I bought Hank’s programmer and am trying to learn how to ping the D2…

    I dont have an Android phone, and cannot use avrdude on my iMac. I use pymcuprog and issue commands through Terminal in my iMac, to reflash Anduril on my Wurkkos TS10 successfuly.

    when I use the gchart programmers for my TS10, I use this command line, that works very well:

    pymcuprog ping -t uart -u /dev/tty.wchusbserial1430 -d attiny1616

    Im trying to figure out what command line to use for the Emisar D2? 
I think it uses a 1634 chip? I believe I need this info to edit the command line where it says attiny1616. Is that true, or does the D2 use attiny1616?

    when I plug the Hank programmer into my iMac, with the pogo pins connected to the head of my D2, and I run this command in Terminal:

    
ls /dev/{tty,cu}.*

    the response is

    
tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port

    I believe I need that info to tell pymcuprog to use the Hank programmer…

    so I took a couple of guesses and modified the command line to ping the D2 like this:

    pymcuprog ping -t uart -u /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port -d attiny1634

    but that command line does not work in Terminal (yet), I get this response in Terminal:

    Unable to setup stack for device attiny1634
Currently supported devices (in ‘devices’ folder):

    (apparently my pymcuprog install does not include attiny1634)

    Do you have any suggestions what the correct command line would be, to ping my Emisar D2?

    Once I get that sorted, I will have the Option to also reflash to newer firmware, but that is not my priority. I just want to backup my existing firmware with my eeprom settings.

    I dont really want to update to newer D2 firmware, that uses 3C for channel switching. I can switch channels on my D2 using 3H, and I like it that way.

    It means I dont have to relearn a different command for my D2, when I want to switch from smooth to stepped ramping. This keeps 3C consistent with my other Anduril lights.





  • Do folks find raw copper practical to carry?

    I find copper too heavy for practical carry. Raw copper also creates a bad odor on my hands.

    My copper AAA Lumintop Tool weighs 83% more than my Aluminium version. (both with battery inside)

    My copper FWAA weighs 75% more than the Aluminium model. (both with battery inside)

    I do not carry either of those lights in Copper. I started with the copper AAA model, when I was infatuated with the idea of Copper, Then I got the AA sized FWAA but I quickly learned that I did not like the extra weight in my pocket.
