Hey there Chet.

Still running this on both my cars. Working very well.

I'm just worried the power cell in the Dallas chip on the daughterboard will die soon.
I need to get my BIN programmed onto a Memcal before then.

Hi Tony - I have a programmer so I can do it for you, as long as you have your code (we can always dump if directly from the unit as well).

Kind of interesting though that they went this way vs using NVRAM...unless there is a technical reason - to be fair I didn't look into this, just what I read here so far.

edit: hmmm, not sure what the function of the battery would be for since the DS1245Y-70IND+ is a NVSRAM unit, so it shouldn't need a battery to retain it's memory as that is the main feature of the NV term (Non-volatile). I seem to be missing something - I use NVRAM all the time in my other hobby and it retains it's memory with no battery (use it to replace the conventional RAM and batteries to eliminate the need for batteries and possible future damage to the PCB due to them leaking).
