There are 2 options for ordering software upgrades from Midon Design.

  1. Download the object (hex) code and program the 68HC908KX8 processor yourself.  This will require the use of a stand-alone programmer.  TEMP08 does not support in-circuit programming.  There is no charge for this option.
  2. Order a new processor chip with the new software.Acceptance Mark

TEMP08 Upgrade Instructions

  1. Remove power from the TEMP08!

  2. Using a small screw-driver, or similar tool, gently remove U1, the 68HC908KX8 micro-controller, by inserting the screw-driver between the micro-controller and the DIP socket that it is inserted to.

  3. Making sure that you are grounded, or adequately static free, insert the new micro-controller into the socket.  Care should be taken to observe correct polarity.  The end of the micro-controller with a small notch, or a dot in the left-corner, should be positioned to be close to the J1 connector as per the diagram above.

  4. Make sure that all micro-controller pins are seated in the socket.  Check for pins that may have bent inwards.
  5. Restore power to TEMP08.
  6. Enjoy your new features.
