Bantam BC6 10

[Bjarne Lindqvist]

Hello!

Wich firmware should i use for the Bantam BC6 10? I can't find any info about it, i really tried. Searched and scrolled through the posts.
Any ideas?

I used the "imaxb6-original" for my Bantam BC6 AC, since the Imax B6 is a Bantam BC6 clone

BC6 AC is a 50W charger and I'm suspecting the BC6-10 is a 200W one,

so I would go with GTPowerA6-10 or Turnigy-A-6-10-200W

Yes it is the original BC6-10 wich is a 200W charger. Thank you for your suggestion. Are there any major differences between the two firmwares suggested?

definitely,  they are designed for two different devices,
when you flash a 50W firmware to a 200W charger 

in the best case it won't start, worst case it will burn the charger.

actually it's probably the usual case.

Ah, sorry for not being more precise, I was never going to try the 50w firmware. I was refering to the two different 200w firmwares you mentioned!

;) 

The only differ in the "default calibration",

which you have to change  anyway.

Thank you very much! One more thing, is it confirmed which processor it uses, the BC6-10? Of course i will find out sooner or later when i try to flash it but i already have the hardware to program the Atmega. 
If it is Nuvoton i'll have to order something else...

[Bjarne Lindqvist]

I saw now that the firmwares suggested only comes in Atmega-flavor so then I hold my thumbs for it to be a Amel. I will open it up later in the weekend probably and do some detective work... =)

Hi Bjarne,

is your charger working correctly?

If yes, could you download the eeprom form it (after calibration)

and send it to me?

Best Regards,

Paweł

Just wanted to come back here to say that I flashed my Bantam e-Station BC6-10 (200w).

I used the GTPowerA6-10 firmware and after calibration everything is working as expected, including the fan and no strange symbols on the display.
The pinout for the programmer is the same as for IMAX B6 original/genuine.

i also flashed my bantam bc6-10 today so maybe i could send you the eeprom. i calibrated is as good as i can. funny thing is i thought the original firmware is locked but i could save it without any problem.
