      thanks for following up ;-)

      No, I do not yet know the correct command line syntax

      I would welcome any help… here is the backstory:

      I bought Hank’s programmer and am trying to learn how to ping the D2…

      I dont have an Android phone, and cannot use avrdude on my iMac. I use pymcuprog and issue commands through Terminal in my iMac, to reflash Anduril on my Wurkkos TS10 successfuly.

      when I use the gchart programmers for my TS10, I use this command line, that works very well:

      pymcuprog ping -t uart -u /dev/tty.wchusbserial1430 -d attiny1616

      Im trying to figure out what command line to use for the Emisar D2? 
I think it uses a 1634 chip? I believe I need this info to edit the command line where it says attiny1616. Is that true, or does the D2 use attiny1616?

      when I plug the Hank programmer into my iMac, with the pogo pins connected to the head of my D2, and I run this command in Terminal:

      
ls /dev/{tty,cu}.*

      the response is

      
tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port

      I believe I need that info to tell pymcuprog to use the Hank programmer…

      so I took a couple of guesses and modified the command line to ping the D2 like this:

      pymcuprog ping -t uart -u /dev/tty.Bluetooth-Incoming-Port -d attiny1634

      but that command line does not work in Terminal (yet), I get this response in Terminal:

      Unable to setup stack for device attiny1634
Currently supported devices (in ‘devices’ folder):

      (apparently my pymcuprog install does not include attiny1634)

      Do you have any suggestions what the correct command line would be, to ping my Emisar D2?

      Once I get that sorted, I will have the Option to also reflash to newer firmware, but that is not my priority. I just want to backup my existing firmware with my eeprom settings.

      I dont really want to update to newer D2 firmware, that uses 3C for channel switching. I can switch channels on my D2 using 3H, and I like it that way.

      It means I dont have to relearn a different command for my D2, when I want to switch from smooth to stepped ramping. This keeps 3C consistent with my other Anduril lights.

        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

          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

          enjoy your weekend ;-)
