Artic Fox firmware

[Pulsar]

Another thing I noticed, that may be linked to another thread here, after a few 3 or so second hits at 80w the board them rises almost 10c. I very much like having board temp available too. When I build a new PC, I like to monitor temps for a while until I know it's all working properly. Knowing how quick he temps could possibly rise, and being able to see temps I think will help keep the board from having premature failure.

Honestly, the AF firmware is just better than anything currently on the mods that can use it. I pointed that out as has TW a few times - well maybe more than a few times. There is no reason NOT to use it.

And it keeps getting updated and it keeps getting better. People need to clue in.

A few times? I think tw may be a paid shill... 

I wish I was set up for TC. I really want to try it. Need to get some SS wire

Yeah sorry. I guess I posted a bit much. I was just pleasantly amazed by this stuff and felt compelled to share.

Toop, which mod are you talikng about, the 4s? Doesn't your newly converted Pico now support SS?

Spread the word, I was just giving you a lil crap. So far I like the features available even though I havent hooked it back up the the PC.

I figured out how to adjust the power curve on the mod last night. Got it set at 80w, up to 105% for the first 0.2 seconds.

Hey Paul and TW, can you make an FAQ about AF. Seems like it's going to become a common question.

I am assuming all that TC stuff is software based, so if the hardware supports TC control, the software determines the wires supported. I am guessing if you flash the AF firmware on it, it will support it. 

All speculation, but seems logical

Yeah, right. Paul maybe. You'd never read mine.

I like the ability to control the curve all the way to 25s if desired. You can start warm, cool down, ramp it up after a few seconds, mellow it out again, etc.

One thing I was always carrying on about with the RX300 in its' Wismec clothing was the new pre-heat function (power mode). It would push X watts in .1s increments up to the first 2 seconds then go back to the preset temp. That was great but limited because it was static and not curve-able. Love how AF does it.
