Hi,
Some weeks ago I bought the mk121 board and after some trouble(due to my rusty soldering skills) I could assemble it successfully.
Now I would like to go a step further, like replacing the existing pic16c505 with a “rewritable” pic16f505 and mess around with the game’s code a little. A friend of mine told me that there is a possiblity that protection bits might be set on the pic16c505, preventing the software from being read via the pic programmer. After studying the pic16c505 manual I found out that it has indeed this feature.
So my questions are:
-
Is this possible to replace the 16C505 with a 16F505 and and use the old software without changes of the source code ?
-
Are the protection bits set on mk121’s pic16c505? And if yes, would you mind releasing the source code for learning purposes?
sincerly, jich
