Question about Bistro

Does Bistro go into the [Turbo > Strobe > Battery Check > Bicycle Strobe] shortcuts with a long tap from the lowest mode in the group it's set to like the A6 firmware does? The only UI chart I've seen is this one and it doesn't show it.

I would hate to have to select a grouping that has the battery check included in standard mode cycling just to retain the feature. I also feel like I'd frequently lose count and tap too many times trying to get to turbo and end up in a moonlight mode where the shortcut that the A6 has eliminates that concern.

I assume you are referring to this.

Yes, it is basically an upgraded and expanded BLF A6 firmware with a similar UI.

Well darn... referred to Bistro in my question, but I was really curious about Biscotti as included with some of the newer convoys. Thanks for the reply, I'll have to start a new thread tonight.

Biscotti does NOT have backwards click capabilities. It simply lacks the driver hardware to do it.

So a long tap does nothing. At the most, and if you have memory turned off, it will get you back to the first mode of the selected group.

Thanks, this is exactly the info I was looking for. Bummer it won't behave the way I want, but still a huge upgrade over the standard blinky convoy driver with poor mode spacing.

I think a huge upgrade for this type of driver would be a mode selection that goes does something like (in order): 1%, 100%, 35%, 10%.

That seems super specific. I'd be willing to try and modify the biscotti firmware for you, and send you the files so you can flash it yourself, or mail you a driver with the firmware installed, but shipping from spain is a bitch.

Maybe someone else on the forum could flash a driver and send it to you from the US?

That's ok, I don't remember finding a UI chart for biscotti.

Here is the UI info for it anyway:
