Terra, I have an LCM with s/w 3.6 and another with s/w 3.01. Would you like me to send them in for your work?
Well it's hard to say since I've gotten quicker with each successive LSZ. And the coding step is one of those things that I can write a program to automate if necessary.
Biggest factor IMO is that there's an element of risk I take on. I'm pretty good at soldering, but even with a good temperature controlled station and proper technique, there's always some risk of lifting a pad, which can be disastrous if it's one of the pads for the CPU. In such a scenario, I would of course replace the unit.
I'll think it over a bit.
The 3.6 can definitely be updated. The 3.01 unfortunately cannot be (well it might be upgradeable to a 3.1, but that doesn't really result in any features gained).
if you do set up a core exchange type program id definitely participate/purchase

Well I have some bad news. It would appear the C34 LSZs are not upgradeable. I just got derbo's in and the microcontroller is different. The board appears to be the same, but the microcontroller has a much larger EEPROM (4k vs 1k) and much larger flash (256k vs 64k). The extra space seems to be unused, but the problem is that simply having that extra space would require the code to be rewritten, and that goes beyond my expertise.
Thankfully the C34s are relatively rare since they were only in production for a couple months. The C35s were used for 2 years, so there's plenty on the market.
