I am also having this issue, but with a KR1 driving an FC-40 (Anduril model number 0216
). It works fine on the 2022-10-21 build of noctigon-kr4-12v
but subsequent builds of hank-noctigon-kr4-boost
show the above symptoms of ramping up, ramping down, flashing, then flickering with an unresponsive button. Unlike OP, flashing hank-noctigon-dm11-boost
results in the light not turning on and the switch not responding. Flashing the KR1 back to the 2022-10-21 build returns it to normal working order.
My KR1 with FC40 uses 0273 (dm11-boost) so it seems like Hank has used each driver at different times, as they use a different switch pin. That's really weird though as one of those should have worked, the only difference in the hardware config is which pin the MCU uses for the switch, and in both drivers then the opposite pin is left unconnected so it shouldn't be getting read as a spurious input from the wrong firmware. Did the firmware verify correctly after flashing?
Yep, confirmed flashing was successful and verified each time. I can triple-check again later, but I had the same issue on 2023-12-03 and 2024-04-20 builds and had the same behavior from hank-noctigon-kr4-boost
(ramping up/down, unresponsive button) and hank-noctigon-dm11-boost
(no light/no button).
Driver PCB is purple, there's a blue dot in the center where the positive terminal spring is, if that helps.
Just repeated flashing the 2024-04-20 builds of hank-noctigon-kr4-boost
and hank-noctigon-dm11-boost
, same as before.
Tried holding down the power button while tightening the cap on both FWs to see if I could get it to reset. The KR4 build did the normal reset strobe pattern, but then I couldn't get the light to respond to any subsequent button presses. The DM11 build didn't respond to the factory reset hold or any other button actions.

After reflashing with 2023-10-31 FW (noctigon-kr4-boost) and inserting a battery the flashlight spontaneously ramps up, ramps down, then flashes once, and begin flickering on a low mode. The switch does not respond. After reflashing with an older FW it works fine.
EDIT: flashing my KR4 with 2023-10-31 noctigon-dm11-boost FW was successful, I was able to perform a factory reset, so the switch is handled properly in this FW.
