Assemblies and subsystems for electronic illuminators

A method for detecting presence of a fiber in an electronic illuminator, comprising:

• provisioning an electronic illuminator with an ambient light sensor and a fiber detection assembly;
• acquiring light intensity by the ambient light sensor and converting it to a digital signal;
• determining lux based on the digital signal;
• acquiring a magnetic flux density by the fiber detection assembly;
• determining a tesla value based on the magnetic flux density;
• and
• detecting presence of a fiber optic cable by the digital signal and the tesla value;
• and
• authenticating, by the electronic illuminator, that the fiber optic cable is authentic for use with the electronic illuminator based on at least the tesla value.

A method for detecting and emitting light based on a fiber funnel cap, comprising:

• provisioning an electronic illuminator with a cap color detection assembly, wherein the cap color detection assembly is a photoelectric sensor;
• receiving, by the electronic illuminator, a fiber funnel cap to a fiber optic cable;
• emitting light from a transmitter on the cap color detection assembly;
• determining, by a microcontroller configured to the cap color detection assembly, R/G/B value based on reflected light from the fiber funnel cap;
• and
• in response to the determination of the R/G/B value, emitting, by a light emitting diode on the electronic illuminator, a colored light down the fiber optic cable, wherein a color of the colored light is analogous to the R/G/B value.
