Seen code editing discussed in another thread but didn’t want to thread jack, but find the topic interesting and wondering who’s still editing code/burning chips?
Not a service I’m looking for at this time and doubt I’d ever need, but just taking interest in the lost art form per say. I remember back in the mid 2000’s when I got into these cars laptops were still expensive and things like ECMlink and AEM EMS V1 were around but not obtainable by many, most of the “fast” guys in the area that had exceeded what they could do with an SAFC or MAF translator alone were mostly utilizing a chip burnt for whatever they were using.
By the time I took any interest in code editing 9 years ago ECMLink had become much more practical and obtainable and it was already a pretty dead way of doing things. I figured if anyone is still doing it this is a way to chime in and discuss and maybe keep it alive a little longer.
Not to be paranoid but with the way the world has been and constant supply chain issues this might be a viable option for those with simpler set ups if certain things aren’t available in a few years but sadly there may not be anyone left doing it.
Again, starting conversation more so on the curiosity of the subject as I find it interesting.
