what? but its a flash light?
although i am very glad you can put ur own flashlight firmware on it tho...
Yeah, it's very cool. Unfortunately flashlight UIs, especially the ones that run on open source firmware, are deeply constrained by mostly only having one input (the power button).
To be fair, Anduril's ramping functionality (holding down the button smoothly increases output, then releasing and holding again decreases it, and so on) is very good in practice and covers pretty much all normal day to day use for me, along with occasionally double-clicking to max output for fun.
hmm maybe you can mod more buttons in there?
ok i read ur other chost and I wanted to apologize for my "why does flashlight need tech" comment. I didn't realize that enthusiast flashlights were a thing and took it in the direction of "they put wifi in my toaster and i didnt want it" instead of "enthusiast flashlight is cool".
I'm supportive of all the cool enthusiasts out there and it actually does make sense to have a microcontroller in ur flashlight if ur going to do certain things.
I mean, most flashlight enthusiast stuff is deeply silly and a lot is slightly dangerous, so no worries : )
