So I had plans, big plans. I purchased about 50 of these drivers:
They looked pretty sweet, 3A drive current and "easy" solder bridges to let the user turn mode memory on or off and let you select between 9 different UI programs. Awesome right? Well the plan was to simply re-program the drivers with my own code. I don't know how, but I know a guy that does. Easy right?
Eh, well the problem is these chips are "apparently" the PIC12F629 which is (in)conveniently read/write protected! Since this is a family site I'll spare you all the detailed description of what I think of that situation
Can anyone tell me if this can be replaced with the Atmel chip used on the NANJG 105C? Alternately, if I desolder all of these chips and buy a bunch of new ones. Does anyone know about programming this version? My guy has only done the Atmel chip and since the PIC chips are protected, we can't even see what's on them. Help!
