I don't have a D2, but I assume that it uses a T1634 just like a D4V2. I believe that pymcuprog is for UDPI programmers, and your Hank programmer is USBasp which requires avrdude for programming. I realize that this post is for Windows, but it covers command-line usage of avrdude. It might help. I'm kind of shocked that I don't already have this documented somewhere, but I've been using zFlasher on Android for quite a while. It can handle UDPI and USBasp programmers.
As a side note, I believe that Hank uses a custom version of Anduril 2 for his lights. For example, I think that he exposes more of the "advanced" features in the Simple UI than ToyKeeper does. Of course, that's the beauty of open-source software. You can customize it. In any case, my point is that you can keep current with Anduril 2 while also customizing it for your preferences if you're willing to learn to modify the code. I've gotten to the point where I just stick with stock Anduril 2 in most cases.
thanks for the education, that is very helpful
Im technologically challenged atm.. my iMac wont run avrdude, and I dont have an android phone to run zflasher
the apps needed to do that, dont run on my iMac, and Im not motivated to modify code
I feel the same way… unless there is a hex file available that offers a feature I value, for example, I reflash the SC21 Pro, to add the lower lows available in later firmware
but I have not heard of a reason to reflash my D2.. the stock firmware works fine for me, so far
much appreciate your help understanding my options, and limitations
enjoy your weekend ;-)
It looks like you can install avrdude on a Mac via Mac Ports.
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
As a D2 owner, to confirm a couple of things: My D2 originally shipped with Anduril version number
2021-12-13-0135as well. Model number0135was originally namedemisar-d4sv2-tintramp, and is now namedemisar-2ch, cf. https://toykeeper.net/torches/fsm/anduril2/MODELS. Over there, it is also specified asattiny1634.Scrolling down https://toykeeper.net/torches/fsm/anduril2/, you will find the latest
emisar-2chversion at the bottom, currently indeedanduril.2023-08-07.emisar-2ch.hex. Over there, you will also still findanduril.2021-12-13.emisar-d4sv2-tintramp.hex.For instructions specifically for backing up, cf. for example https://anduril.click/flashing/avrdude.html#backing-up.
Usually, I am using ZFlasher AVR via mobile phone (Android), which is very straightforward, but 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.
Finally, cf. https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~toykeeper/flashlight-firmware/multi-channel/view/head:/ToyKeeper/spaghetti-monster/anduril/hank-cfg.h to see which modifications Hank lights have from stock Anduril 2. Recently, a couple of functions were allowed in Simple UI, namely ramping toggle as well as aux config and strobe modes.
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!
Great! Those commands are looking just fine. Good to hear that you got this sorted.
Super grateful! Enjoy your weekend ;-)
That's an awesome reference website! Thanks for sharing.
Sure thing!
