I believe that pymcuprog is for UDPI programmers, and your Hank programmer is USBasp which requires avrdude for programming.
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
you can keep current with Anduril 2 while also customizing it for your preferences if you’re willing to learn to modify the code
the apps needed to do that, dont run on my iMac, and Im not motivated to modify code
I’ve gotten to the point where I just stick with stock Anduril 2 in most cases.
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
As a D2 owner, to confirm a couple of things: My D2 originally shipped with Anduril version number 2021-12-13-0135 as well. Model number 0135 was originally named emisar-d4sv2-tintramp, and is now named emisar-2ch, cf. https://toykeeper.net/torches/fsm/anduril2/MODELS. Over there, it is also specified as attiny1634.
Scrolling down https://toykeeper.net/torches/fsm/anduril2/, you will find the latest emisar-2ch version at the bottom, currently indeed anduril.2023-08-07.emisar-2ch.hex. Over there, you will also still find anduril.2021-12-13.emisar-d4sv2-tintramp.hex.
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.

SOLVED!
Thank you very much!
I was able to successfully ping and backup eeprom and hex file from my D2 with the following commands:

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

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!
