– A normal clone not model cannot works with the Model software that works with as we named HQ clone – Do not use other one because will not 100% correct – The firmware must be the one that it is required by the software version Then reprogram the new brand chip PIC18F458 and you can have a brand new clone that will be available to upgrade the firmware of the interface Remake a connection on bord and cut another one To replace the MCU with a original Microchip PIC18F458 You only need to use the necessary firmware for the software version that you are using it.Ĭhanging (upgrade or downgrade) firmware version in op-com chinese clone is at risk – you’ll damage the tool and it will not work anymore You do not need to change the firmware of your tool with one or other. – If then you try one of the version in Romanian/ German or vaux-com version 131223 the software will upgrade the firmware of the tool to the fw 1.60 – with for instance OP-COM 131223c English version the software will upgrade the firmware of your interface to the version that its need- to 1.59 – With other words if you have an op-com tool that it has firmware 1.39 and you’ll try to use it So the difference it is not in the firmware as 1.44, 1.45, the difference it is in the software version VAUX-COm version, Romanian and German version of OP-COM used fw1.60 OP-COm software from 2014 used fw1.59 (fw 1.45 & 1.59 come with the same pcb) OP-COM software from 2012 used fw 1.45 and the software released at the end of that year used fw1.47 OP-COM China clone ( op-com 100219a ) from 2009 use fw 1.39 – do not use other firmware The op-com software version use one or other firmware version as fw 1.33, fw 1.39, fw 1.41, fw 1.43, fw 1.44 fw 1.45, fw 1.47 fw 1.59 fw 1.60 ( the last one ).
