STC-1000+ Project

[onesoma]

I managed to flash my STC-1000 to matsstaff's STC-1000+ firmware succesfully earlier today. The instructions now on https://github.com/matsstaff/stc1000p are very comprehensive.

As I can't solder, I went with just holding the pin header against the programming header points. In order to allow the pin header to make contact, the protective coating on the pcb over the programming points needs to be scraped away. I did this with the tip of a penknife and the contact/firmware upload worked fine first time. The upload process takes about 20 seconds, so it's not that tricky.

Here's an equipment list with what I used, where I ordered it from, and the price. Note that the STCs from this aliexpress seller should be the correct programmable version:

If anyone wants a hand doing this (if the STC is the correct version) I'm happy to help - I'm in Shankill.
