in stock form I like to carry the Silver TS10 w 6000K leds.. review album here: https://imgur.com/a/H9Usict

thanks, fun video,

Im going to tell people that copper lights smell like mushrooms.. lol..

I’m ok with testing its limits

Im appreciating learning from your experience Thanks for sharing info

I respect that youre taking precautions. I think your idea to use water cooling could work well ;-)

I used it continuously in candle mode @ high with the original silicone diffuser for a video shoot

now that you have learned it gets too hot and has no thermal regulation..

suggest next time you want to use candle mode, that you limit your use to level 6 of the 7 stepped modes.. and check with your hand after a couple of minutes, to confirm if that keeps the light cool enough

well-photographed

thanks..

the secret for me, has turned out to be to take photos during daylight hours (not in the dark).. it seems to help the iPhone camera (auto white balance), to produce useful beam color comparisons, for me.. Plus daylight shows what the host looks like.

the other thing that has turned out really handy as a background is my gray soldering mat.. (better than white paper).

UV

here is a good video of a D2 w UV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTk1XAh8EFU

and a good review of a D2: https://tgreviews.com/2023/04/26/emisar-d2/

the reviews have differing opinions on whether to choose the spot optic or the flood optic.. I went with the flood option and am very happy with it.. (it is Not Very Floody, it just makes the beam round instead of square)

congratulations looks very nice, thanks for the pics

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!

That worked! thanks ;-)

no clue yet what command line to use to save a backup of my D2 hex file.. suggestions welcome

this is the 3rd time Ive tried to reply.. lemmy keeps losing my posts.. hmmm

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

(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.

This would be the latest version

saved, thank you very much for all your help ;-)
