garrett infinium ls question

[detecto]

Couple weeks ago i opened this detector for servising, and i make decision to copy this detector because i think it is not worth 1000$, all the components of which he made are available to me, garrett infinium ls is driven by PIC16C74B-20, so my question is.
Is PIC16C74B-20 write protected or not?
Does Garrett protected this microchip on some way and how?
Does any one have experience with this?
Any answer will be helpful to me.

Best wishes

You mean read (copy) protected?

Right that.

I expect they would read-protect it. The higher cost of water detectors reflects the need for warranty coverage. Often this involves leaks, which require complete replacement.

As possible as i can i will try to reed the PIC, so if not protected will be great project

hmmmm diging thru net actually i found that older version's of pic inclouding 16c7xx are easy to crack easier than i toth.
Also i made one simple icsp adapter for programing PIC16C74B-20

Maybe they can break everything others make, but ask first for prices. Probably it would be cheaper to buy 10 new Infiniums.

It is safe for educational purposes only, otherwise you break others IP.
