Thank you for the tip I have been hovering around that thread for quite some time however there doesn't seem to have a solution we both seek. I believe that Nisei had planned to use the battery jst connectors to trick the chip while being powered by the power supply. However, since it looks like that would give unbalanced errors, I plan to use resistors to avoid having to rely on escribe. My question would be is three 1.47kohms resistors in series soldered to the power supply voltage suitable to run without relying on software?
