Anduril 2 UI Diagrams

@lowprofile · 11 months ago

Great work, thank you very much! A couple of details I noticed in this detailed diagram (Advanced UI):

If I am not mistaken, for 3C from ON, Change Channel, 50/50 comes before, not after Tint Ramp, so the present order should be corrected.
For the Strobe Modes, Police Strobe and Tactical Strobe should be in the opposite order, as Tactical Strobe comes before Police Strobe.
Furthermore, in Strobe Modes, the Actions could include 3C: Change Channel.
Also, for Lockout Mode, 3H for Change Channel could be added, possibly below 1H and 2H.
Finally, maybe it is useful (if not too much detail) to specify what the two Momentary Floor, 1H and 2H in Lockout Mode, refer to. For 1H it could read Momentary Floor (lowest Floor of Smooth vs Stepped), and for 2H it could read Momentary Floor (highest Floor of Smooth vs Stepped), or Manual Memory if set.

Thanks so much for the feedback. I corrected #1, 2, 3, and 5 in the diagram for the Advanced UI. I can’t get #4 to work on my dual-channel D4V2. It looks like it’s changing channels, but it switches back to the original channel almost immediately. Are you able to get this working on a light? How is it supposed to behave?

The updated diagram is looking very good, thanks! And yes, I had #4 working just fine, but I checked again, and it is not working with every Anduril 2 version. I do not want to overcomplicate this, but as the Anduril 2 multi-channel branch is in active development, a little extra detail seems to be in order here:

I am checking this with two D2s (but apparently, so far I only checked 3H in Lockout Mode with the first one of them):

First D2: Running anduril.emisar-2ch-aux.hex by SiteRelEnby, as referred to in this Reddit post (there is also a Lemmy post, but that one does not include the GitHub links added at the top), version 0135-2023-07-03 (new version format).
Second D2: Running anduril.2023-04-25.emisar-2ch.hex from ToyKeeper’s /torches/fsm/anduril2, version 2023-04-26-0135 (old version format); please note: at the same site, also the newer version anduril.2023-05-30.emisar-2ch.hex is available.

Back to #4: 3H in Lockout Mode for Change channel works with the first D2, but not with the second D2.

(By the way, the newer Anduril 2 version of the first D2 also added aux LED channels to Change Channel, 3C from ON. This might be another addition to the diagram in the future, adding seven more channels, one each for red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and white aux LEDs. For example, I disabled all the aux LED channels via 9H from ON, but for the blinky modes, 3C from BattCheck, I set white aux LEDs.)

As 3H from Lockout to Change channel is in ToyKeeper’s text manual, which is my point of reference, I guess it should also be in the diagram; cf. the UI Reference Table at the end:

Lockout Any 3H Next channel mode (if more than one enabled)

And on to #3: Arguably, this should read 3C: Change channel rather than presently 3C: Change channel for strobe modes, as this channel change is not limited to the strobe modes, but extends to ON as well. The same goes for 3H from Lockout, #4, which accordingly should also read Change channel. Both of these only show the enabled channels, not the disabled ones.

And both of these differ from 3C from BattCheck, which shows all the channels, enabled as well as disabled ones, and which is indeed limited to the blinky modes, so the present addition for blinky modes in Switch channel for blinky modes is correct. Cf. also the (for number blinks only) in the UI Reference Table at the end of ToyKeeper’s text manual:

Batt check Full 3C Next channel mode (for number blinks only)

@containerfan · 11 months ago

Thanks for the continued feedback. I somehow missed 3H from lockout in the text manual the first time around. Even though I can’t get it working properly on my D4V2 at the moment (hex compiled directly from ToyKeeper’s r725 code), I included it. I assume it’ll be fixed soon.

I also changed the wording slightly for channel switching to be more inline with the text manual, so now it reads “next channel mode” in a few places.

I’m a little confused about the feature to use 3C to cycle through the aux LED colors. So on my D4V2 which has RGB aux, would 3C turn on, for example, the red aux as the main emitters? For now, I added “Aux LED Channel(s)” to the Next Channel Mode boxes, but I don’t know if that’s appropriate. Take a look, and let me know what you think. Thanks!

Excellent, and thanks again for your work! This is the only diagram I am aware of that is displaying the (many) new Anduril 2 multi-channel features, and I consider this diagram to be a great contribution to the community.

As there are so many details to pay attention to, and things can get somewhat confusing, I will go along the individual points. For each of them, I will lay out what the two D2s at my end are doing.

The first D2 has remained as described above, running anduril.emisar-2ch-aux.hex from SiteRelEnby, version number 0135-2023-07-03.

The second D2 is now updated to the latest version from ToyKeeper’s site, running anduril.2023-05-30.emisar-2ch.hex, version number 0135-2023-05-30.

3H in Lockout Mode for Next Channel Mode: First D2: working. Second D2: working (but not for the aux LED channels).

The wording Next Channel Mode looks good to me, also for 3C from ON, and it is in line with the text manual.

The Aux LED Channel(s) work in the first D2, but not in the second D2. The aux LEDs indeed work as the main emitters in this situation, and as far as I have observed it is ON/OFF with one (high aux) brightness. As to whether to include the Aux LED Channel(s) in the diagram for 3H from Lockout and for 3C from ON, I would suggest: presently No. Although ToyKeeper’s text manual apparently does not specify the channel modes, cf.

A light can have many different channel modes, so don’t be shy about turning off any modes you don’t use. It makes all the others easier to reach.

at least for the .hex from ToyKeeper’s site these seem not be included at present, so including them might cause unnecessary confusion. They could simply be added at a later point in time. Then, for consistency, also the Channel Mode Config, 9H from ON, would have to include the aux LED channels (seven, adding up to 12 channel modes).

3C: Next channel mode in Strobe Modes: First D2: working. Second D2: working.

All fine here (one detail I observed is that the police strobe runs with red and blue aux LEDs in the first D2, but with Channel 1 and 2 in the second D2, just an observation, nothing to be included in the diagram).

3C from Batt Check for Next channel mode (for number blinks only): First D2: working. Second D2: sort of working (?).

Again, the new wording looks good to me, and it is in line with the text manual. Actually, it is clearer than before, when it referred to the blinky modes rather than the number blinks, as this channel change only applies to Batt Check and to Temp Check, not to Beacon and SOS. Within the Blinky/Utility Modes I had interpreted Blinky to refer to Batt Check and Temp Check, and Utility to refer to Beacon and SOS, but I might have misconstrued that. However that may be, referring to (for number blinks only) in the diagram clears that up.

The first D2 cycles through all the channel modes, enabled as well as disabled ones, and choosing a channel mode is indeed limited to the number blinks only (and also includes e.g. Version Check, 15C). This is in line with the text manual.

But with the second D2, 3C from Batt Check works just like 3C from ON, 3C in Strobe Modes and 3H in Lockout Mode, i.e. it only cycles through the enabled channels, and choosing a channel change extends to ON etc. and is not limited to the number blinks only. This is not in line with the text manual.

In this case, I would suggest to give priority to the text manual and leave the current wording in the diagram as it is.

PS: With the latest revision 728 from yesterday, 2023-07-10, as far as I can tell, ToyKeeper now integrated the 7 aux LED channel modes into the emisar-2ch build.

With this, I would now suggest to include the aux LED channel modes in Next Channel Mode, 3C from ON, and leave the present Aux LED Channel(s), or rather Aux LED Channels, in the diagram; there might be no need to individually specify the 7 aux LED channel modes: Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, White.

And for Channel Mode Config, 9H from ON, to save space by not adding 7 additional points, there could e.g. be one additional point 6+) Release after sixth+ flash and Configure channel 6+.

Moreover, I noticed a couple of other details in the diagram, and I will post a new comment for those. With all the current additions, I figure it is expected to take a little while to get everything up to speed.

UPDATE 2023-07-14: I checked with r728 (hex compiled directly from ToyKeeper’s code), and indeed, the 7 aux LED channel modes are now integrated into the emisar-2ch build. One difference I observed compared to SiteRelEnby’s version from above is that the 7 aux LED channel modes are not enabled, but rather disabled by default (which I would have suggested as well).

@containerfan · 10 months ago

Yes! It’s working on my D4V2! I updated the Channel Mode Config as you suggested (mostly). I’ll have the updated version posted shortly. Thanks again for the recommendations!
