Advanced UI

Simple UI

Background: This was 100% inspired by Lux-Perpetua’s Andúril 2 UI diagram on BLF. In fact, Lux’s diagram is so good, that I would have been happy to just use it except for one thing: the source isn’t published, so you can’t modify it. I also wanted to be able to keep it up to date with u/ToyKeeper’s code. So I created my own…

This is where I intend to store all of my Anduril 2 UI diagrams, and any updates to them. Since ToyKeeper split off the multi-channel version of Anduril 2, I have created two new diagrams for it:

  • Anduril 2 Multi-Channel Advanced UI (PNG)
  • Anduril 2 Multi-Channel Simple UI (PNG)

Diagrams now hosted on GitHub.

Yeah, it got complicated enough that I could no longer fit the Advanced and Simple UI diagrams on a single page, so I had to split them.

As always, you are free to do whatever you want with these diagrams. I make these for myself, and I’m happy to share them with the community. You can find the source MS Visio file here. Feel free to make your own copy and modify it to your heart’s content. The Visio file contains several pages:

  • Single-Channel - Advanced/Simple UI diagram for the single-channel version of Anduril 2. I still need to update and post it.
  • Multi-Simple - Simple UI diagram for the multi-channel version of Anduril 2.
  • Multi-Advanced - Advanced UI diagram for the multi-channel version of Anduril 2.
  • Diagram Parts - Various bits and pieces that I use in the various UI diagrams.

If you find any errors, please post a comment here. I try to keep the diagrams as accurate and up-to-date as possible, but you know, life happens. Enjoy!

Updates:

  • 2023-07-06: Fixed several issues pointed out here. Thanks @lowprofile!
  • 2023-07-09: Fixed a few more issues pointed out here. Thanks again @lowprofile! Also trying to get the wording in a few places more inline with the text manual.
  • 2023-07-15: Updated for r728 which added channels for red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and white. Added 4H from ON to Momentary Turbo. Added 3C from Tactical Mode to Next Channel Mode. Several other minor fixes. Huge thanks to @lowprofile for continuing to provide valuable feedback. This multi-channel diagram has been a journey!
  • 2023-07-17: Multiple visual enhancements/fixes thanks to @lowprofile. Incremented the version to r732 even though there were no material impacts to the diagram.
  • 2023-07-20: Modified the ramp part of the diagram to reflect the default Anduril 2 configuration (2C to Ceiling). Thanks again to @lowprofile for feedback. I also switch from revisions to build dates as suggested by ToyKeeper.
  • 2023-07-22: Made several corrections to the Simple UI diagram that I had been neglecting. Also made a slight wording change to the ramp config boxed on the Advanced UI diagram. Thanks to @lowprofile for all corrections. Finally, I incremented the build date to 2023-07-21, although there were no material impacts to the diagrams.
  • 2023-08-06: Several cosmetic fixes to the Simple and Advanced UI diagrams thanks to feed back from @lowprofile. Also incremented the build date to 2023-08-04, although there were no material impacts to the diagrams.
  • 2023-08-07: Several clarifications thanks to feedback from @lowprofile. Also incremented the build date to 2023-08-07, although there were no material impacts to the diagrams.
  • 2023-08-10: Several cosmetic fixes to the Simple and Advanced UI diagrams thanks to feed back from @lowprofile.
  • 2023-10-03: I’m embarrassed to admit that I missed an update from the 2023-08-27 release in which “smooth steps” were added (see the Ramp Extras Config). Other than that, there have been no material changes to the diagrams.
  • 2023-11-07: I finally got around to making a couple of updates suggested by @lowprofile. In the Strobe Modes on the Advanced UI diagram, you’ll notice that 3C allows you to save the channel mode per strobe mode. Very cool!
  • 2024-01-01: Last update here on Lemmy. Lemmy is great, but it makes more sense to host the diagrams on GitHub when I can issue diagram releases corresponding with ToyKeeper’s Anduril 2 releases. From now on, please access the diagrams there. It’s a fairly significant update, so please be sure to read the README.

    Question for clarification: In the diagrams, are you referring to stock Anduril 2, or rather to e.g. a Hank light or Hank lights?

    For Advanced UI, this has an impact on the Ramp image, specifically for the Turbo style for 2C from ON. Currently, the Advanced UI diagram is displaying Anduril 1 Turbo style, whereas in stock Anduril 2 Turbo style, 2C from ON only goes to Turbo if ramped up to Ceiling first, cf. text manual and ramp-mode.h. Now, for Hank lights, there is hank-cfg.h, which sets Anduril 1 Turbo style as default, and hank-cfg.h is included in multiple cfg-files, for example in cfg-emisar-2ch.h.

    So far, the Turbo style in Advanced UI might just have been a small variation, but this now becomes much more relevant for Simple UI: Some time ago, in rev 691, Extended Simple UI was added to hank-cfg.h. This means that now for Hank lights, Simple UI includes ramp style toggle as well as aux configs and strobe modes. That makes for a quite different Simple UI from stock Anduril 2 Simple UI, based on the text manual, which for example explicitly states that Change ramp style (smooth / stepped), 3C or 6C from ON/Ramp, is for Advanced UI only (Full UI). Currently, the Simple UI (multi-channel) diagram includes Toggle Ramp Style, but not aux configs or strobe modes.

    With this development, cf. for example also wurkkos-cfg.h recently added in rev 731, probably some thought should be given on how to deal with these variations (later on, also the channel modes could vary more from light to light). To keep confusion to a minimum, it might be a useful approach to have diagrams for stock Anduril 2, and possibly branch out from there, maybe with one extra version for Hank (Emisar, Noctigon) lights, or for a specific light that you are using and making the diagrams for? Or to go ahead with just one set of diagrams, and specify what light(s) or model number the diagrams refer to, so everyone knows what the reference base is and that different variations (and defaults anyways) might apply to their own specific light? Or something else?

      I can’t remember if I originally developed my first Anduril 2 diagram for a specific light I had (possibly my D4V2), or if the way the turbo works has just evolved over time. Either way, the point of the diagrams is to stay current with unmodified Anduril 2, and I make the source file available so that folks can adapt the diagrams to fit their specific configurations (sorry, only MS Visio for now). So you are correct about turbo, and I updated the Advanced UI diagram to be aligned with the default Anduril 2 style turbo. I’m afraid that if I try to generate multiple diagrams for specific manufacturer configurations then I’ll just fall way behind. Plus, I simply don’t have many of those models. But thank you for pointing this out because it was my intention to represent unmodified Anduril 2.

        Thank you very much for clarifying. All of this makes a lot of sense to me.
