Re: Alpha Ready Made with "Icarus" driver Pass-Around
Hey all,
First, thanks for participating in the pass-around! Looking forward to your shared feedback and experiences. Unfortunately the purpose of the message is to let you know about a software bug. Better now than later right? The good news is I should have a software update in the next day or two and I can re-flash the memory chip at any time if the light is sent back to me. The bug shouldn't have a big impact on the pass-around (or usability) but I like to be transparent and let people know what is going on. So, the bug:
Cause: Attempting to add a mode after the lowest default mode (only affects Mode Group #1)
Behavior: The light will not give the "double blink" confirmation upon completing the 8-5-1 sequence. Upon next button activation, the light will get stuck in the lowest moonlight setting...so if aren't in a dark room it may look like the light won't turn on.
Corrective Action: This can be cleared by using the "factory reset" sequence of 8-10.
Secondary Factor: If the light gets stuck, further button presses will erroneously engage "program lock" and you won't be able to "factory reset" without clearing the "program lock." You'll know program lock is engaged if you get six "input failed" blinks after attempting a factory reset. If this happens just disengage program lock (8-12) and then factory reset (8-10).
Workaround: Just don't try to add a mode after the lowest mode in Group 1
Sorry about the confusion and let me know if you have any questions,
Jason
