Nitecore MT1C customized user interface mod

[Everett]

Hi guys,

I wanted to share the mod I did on my MT1C. I really like the light, but the stock UI was awful. I replaced the microcontroller in the driver and wrote my own user interface, which I think has really improved the light by a lot. There's a video below that demonstrates the UI. Here's a quick list of the features I included:
Continuous brightness ramping
6 strobe types
Mode memory through power loss
Two starting modes, selectable before turning on
Customization menu to set up high mode



I'm happy to share my code if anyone is interested in implementing this.

Nice work. :)

What MCU did you use?

Nice work. :)

What MCU did you use?

I used a PIC12F617. The stock driver had a PIC12F683, which was more than capable, but I already had a lot of code written for the 617's peripherals so I swapped it out.

I see... I haven't worked myself into PICs yet, I only use Atmel MCUs currently, even though I got a PICkit3 meanwhile.
Do you use C or ASM?

This one's done in assembly
