Mount RED LED under ON/OFF Button...
https://youtu.be/RUwsZNVgzU0First I drilled a hole.
I did not have a thin drill, I took a 0.8mm drill.
Cut the track.
I covered the contacts with stickers, just in case...
soldered the red LED.
inserted a wire (in Teflon insulation) soldered to the diode.
connect to the mcu over resistor... on photo resistor 2K, but latter I replaced resistor to 470ohm.
Here is result...
As an alternative solution...
Illuminate the button from the side by installing the LED (some side emission bright LED) in the case.
For example:
Next version will have an option "External LED", to control that LED
- "OxP" - Red in case of Protection...
- "CC" - Red in CC mode
- "CC + OxP" - combine first 2 options (Protection - Red; CC - Yellow; CV - Green)
- "CV-G/CC-R" - CV - Green; CC - Red
- "CV-R/CC-G" - CV - Red; CC - Green
If anyone has any idea what else to add here, let me know.As an alternative for CC/CV modes will be possible to set font color and background color...
New Quick Menu (activated by pressing button "Up")
This is the options for current session only (no store).
"Timer OUT Off" - Turn OFF the output after specified time...
"Timer Recycle" - Prevents Reset Timer...
After switching off the output (upon reaching the time or manually), the timer will be reset (unless option "Timer Recycle" is enabled).
The timer can be activated both before and after the output is turned on. Timing starts from the moment the output is turned on.
Thus, if you enable the output, wait more than 10 seconds, then activate the timer for 10 seconds,
then upon exiting the menu the output will be immediately disabled (since the time has already expired).
If anyone has any idea what else to add here, let me know.Here is the early alpha version of firmware RD6018... (do not try to flash it into another models!)
Not everything that was intended has been implemented yet.
This is for those who wish to test it now, and possibly offer new ideas.
