Sky Prog Programmer software Version 01.17
This version was uploaded to the server on 12/20/2023.
1. The most basic change is the improvement of the firmware recording function in Candy Invensys PCB.
Previously, in FT_MODE=1 mode, the software froze on some boards of this type. Now this point has been corrected.
2. The ability to work in EP program mode with new SW has been introduced (01.02.06, 01.35.01, 00.35.15, 02.08.02, 11.00.10, 11.00.08)
3. The built-in INDESIT firmware database contains 13586 firmwares.

2022/06/01
Sky Prog Programmer software Version 01.16
1. Significantly expanded built-in help. Added an additional description of the various functions of the software, added a lot of images with connections, manufacturing accessories, parsing error statistics and deciphering errors for various products (ovens, dishwashers).
Built-in help is opened by pressing the F1 key from the main software window, and is also duplicated on the program website.
2. Fixed a bug when reprogramming the refrigerator module with SW 11.00.11 in EP mode.
3. Minor changes and additions have been made that practically do not affect the functionality of the program.
4. The built-in INDESIT firmware database contains 13077 firmwares.

2022/04/20
Sky Prog Programmer software Version 01.15
1. Updated CANDY MEM firmware database. Instead of the base from 11/25/2019, now the base is from 09/02/2021. At the moment, this is the latest base from the manufacturer.
2. Added support for 12-digit serial numbers in firmware for PCB of the ARCADIA 1 and newer series.
3. Added display of error statistics, including the last error, for HOTTIMA oven PCB, SW 03.00.10 и 03.01.10. Later, a decryption of errors will be added to the help of the program.
4. S19 files with missing (blank) areas are now allowed to open in the program. The modal window that pops up is now a warning instead of a prohibition like it used to be. Skipped zones will be padded with 0xFF bytes.
5. A new mode of data exchange with the FT232RL chip has been introduced. It was already in the previous version of the software, but only in testing mode and was not used. Now this mode is set by default. It can always be changed in the settings to the old mode by setting FT_MODE=0.
It was necessary to make a new mode because of new batches of converters based on this microcircuit from China. Half of them stopped working correctly in bit-bang mode according to the previous scheme (no response, which leads to slowdown when reading / writing).
6. The BACK button is built into the INDESIT firmware database. If you came to the database from the firmware selection help table, then by clicking on this button you will return back to the table with the last search query.
7. The firmware selection help table (opening by pressing F2 from the main program window) is now based on the virtual list library. This allows you to quickly work with a large number of records in the table when searching for the desired product model.
8. Changed/fixed some minor points that do not affect the functionality of the software.
9. The built-in INDESIT firmware database contains 13056 firmwares.

2015/11/15
Version Skyprog Programmer CANDY LIGHT 01.03 and Sky Prog Programmer CANDY PLUS 01.03
What's new?
Firstly, the program was divided into two areas.
The first direction - as it was, the budget version, now has the additional title CANDY LITE.
The second direction - added the module for parsing database of firmwares CANDY - "MEM BD Parser".
The latest database to date (see. The date of the beginning), contains more than 10,000 firmwares.
With this module, you can open any firmware into Candy Sky Prog Programmer or save it to disk as a single file.
The program module MEM BD Parser received additional title CANDY PLUS.
Now change the program.
1. Changed the view of the progress of read / write. Namely, the size, color, location. Added display of progress percent. I hope that everyone will like.
2. Added a status bar (at the bottom area of window). It contains information about the last operation - read, write, successful or not.
3. Fixed two typographical errors in the Russian text, which I found. Please tell me mistakes, if you find more !!!
4. Added checksum verification after recording via COM port of modules series Invensys. Previously, this was done only when recording through USB Elinv Prog.
Now, if after recording the firmware appears window with the words "not converged control bytes", this recording is not performed correctly! It is necessary to ensure that the module is suitable for the model, if so, try more. Well, of course, make sure that the module is working.
5. Minimum and maximum limits on the number of bytes in the string when saving to a file of type * .HEX and * .TXT.
Previously, this was not, and therefore can cause errors.
6. The panel displaying the contents of the firmware in the right zone - zone output ACSII characters, the so-called special characters are now replaced with semicolons, which was not in previous versions. This refinement led to the correct shown characters in this zone.
7. In the "About" added information about the program and about the key under the current working copy.
8. Added a tough test after recording module MDL using USB Elinv Prog. Previous verification was softer in the course of recording.
9. You can now drag and drop the firmware from computer from the external EEPROM 24C02 from INVENSYS module to display error statistics.
10. Added help. Only error codes MDL and INVENSYS modules of washing machines.
Here, perhaps, everything.
