# QAQLeonard/a7c2-fl23-research

> Tools for Sony A7C II (firmware 2.01): install and verify FL2/FL3, import custom LUT/DCP into camera slots, and fully roll back changes. CLI-based, requires Python 3.10+.

- Magnitude: 3.8 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 107 total · +7 stars measured 2026-10-20, 00:23–01:48 UTC, ≈ 42 by evening
- Star trust: star growth looks organic
- Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: Python · Created: 2026-10-17 · Last push: 2026-10-20

## Useful for

- Install and verify FL2/FL3 firmware on Sony A7C II via FL23.cmd
- Import a custom LUT/DCP into a camera slot with lut.py import
- Roll back firmware and LUT changes using recovery.py

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-20 (UTC), 00:23–01:48: 100 → 107 stars (+7). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +42 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 107 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #180.
- About 10 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 25
- Issues and pull requests: 4
- Watchers: 0
- Average over the last week: 37 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 5
- Latest release: v2.2-preview.1 (2026-10-19)

## Stars per day, last 4 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-17 … 2026-10-20: 33, 40, 34, 7

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
