Helstar 6 Feedback #963

Closed Theplayer763 closed 2 weeks ago

Light Placement/Light Appearance • I've attached an image labeling the diodes and their role [figure 1]

Modes • The Helstar 6 is reprogrammable, so the features that can be implemented are pretty much y’all’s discretion. In total there are two modes and four functions, the two modes are overt and covert (Visible, IR), and each mode has 2 functions. I do recommend doing one function for the covert (IR) setting as dim flash or dim steady to not whiteout/blind others that are nearby using night vision. • I attached a PDF from Hellstar that covers all the functions/options [figure 2] • Linked a video showcasing some of the capabilities of the Helstar 6, including the dim modes [figure 3]

Was asked by odkupiciel375 to make a ticket about this.

We had discussion internally about which version of the Helstar to depict and settled on the HS-640-04 which isn't one of the programmable subtypes

HS-640-04 indeed for now. Maybe more options can come later or can be done as 3rd party mods as they are not so hard to configure.

About the LED placement, actually, initially, I wanted to make an accurate representation as shown on your diagram, however after a bit of thought and experimentation I started having concerns about performance of having multiple light sources per device visible, so simplified it to one centralized light source.
