Light level can oscillate instead of stabilizing when compensating for overheating.

I've seen this a couple of times. It may be a function of - having the flashlight unscrewed (lower thermal mass), - lower ambient temperature - fluctuations in ambient temperature...

Write custom versions of arduino functions?

9

Arduino's pinMode, (digital/analog)(Read/Write) take up 850 bytes all together. Writing non-generalized versions for our library could reduce our flash footprint. Investigate costs/benefits.

investigate main led timer adjustment

Investigate timer modes as they relate to: - reducing the intermittent flickering when changing between high and low modes - power consumption changes - light intensity changes at a given...

some angle change, little rotation, significant change in direction

optional sensitivity. minimal rotational movement, minimal angle change, large movement on specific axis

detect drops (change in velocity, some angle change) tests: positive: drop on grass drop on floor drop in bushes negative: drop while in bag (no angle change?) normal? use

The Arduino Zero doesn't have twi.h defined. I initially wrote an #ifdef wrapper for the Zero case, but I realized that the return codes for the endTransmission and twi_writeTo are...

Improved temperature estimation

We now have a record of watts put into the system. Using a history of watt output and temperature, we should be able to very accurately report the raw temperature...

Adding Thermocouples to Tips

5

I've built 3 tips with thermocouples hard-soldered/brazed to the end (670C melting point): https://youtu.be/oAAN9YCJlkc I've got a miniware D24, a generic B2 tip and a Hakko T15-D2. Here's my "logging"...

data logging support

I know we can'tn do usb logging with the ts100 because the data lines don't go to the MCU. Will it be possible to log data out of the usb-c...
