The Quick Launch Interface provides a high-speed connection option for the AR-32A programming unit to a portable host machine with an ExpressCard slot. The Quick Launch package includes both a High Speed Interface Card plus our latest software installed on a USB drive. Since the card connects to the processor bus, it provides two unique operational options: you can perform a standard Windows install or you can run a complete programmer/software system, including all kits, outside of the Windows environment (Windows not running). With this option you insert the card and USB drive into the host machine and reboot. The system boots from the USB drive and allows you to perform any operation you choose. Since the USB drive is the system drive you may load or save files to archive or transfer. (Additional information)

Version 6.0H software is now available. This version of the control program includes several new devices plus allows a for smoother, more intuitive command navigation. With V6.0H you may now press the ENTER key to select a device or name. To choose a directory using the PATH command simply hilite the name and press ENTER. To set a RECALL FILENAME while in the directory hilite the name and press ENTER. The LIBRARIAN allows you to hilite an entry while browsing and then press ENTER to change to VIEW mode. The previous selection options are retained however experience has shown that the ENTER key is the common expected response.

The AccuTouch probe is designed as a quick-connect option for in-circuit reading and progamming of 8 pin SOIC serial eeproms. The probe can be used as an alternative to the traditional surface mount clip. The probe is fabricated using spring loaded pins each with a 4 point crown tip. The 4 point tip will penetrate a typical layer of sealant without cleaning. The probe is fabricated with an alignment notch which is placed over the chip package. Once in place, you press straight down allowing the notch to straddle the eeprom while the pins contact the leads. The probe is held in place for reading and programming operations.

The Subaru BIU (Body Integrated Unit) incorporates a micro eeprom (MSOP package) which, because of its very small size, poses a challenge for both desoldering or direct connection. The probe set is specifically designed to address accessing this part with a simple four connection procedure. The part is easily read in-circuit by pressing two pin-point probes into the circuit assembly plus attaching two standard probes to an existing board test connector. Once the probes are attached (less than 60 seconds) the read operation is completed by pressing two keys. The BIU Probe Set includes the probes, laminated card with step-by-step instructions and photos of the connection points, plus a hinged lid storage case.

Many customers have requested that Andromeda Research offer complete turn-key packages which not only includes the programming kit, but also a suitable host machine. To address these requests, Andromeda Research offers a full size notebook (CF-29). The machine is fully tested, reconditioned and loaded with Windows 7 Ultimate software and drivers plus the latest version of the EPROM+ software. (additional information)

The Andromeda Research Organization and Travel Case allows you to keep your programming unit, adapters, clips and probes plus more in one organized package. The case is fabricated using sturdy, high quality, industrial grade material including a rugged carry strap. When closed, the cover latches in place using quick release parachute clips. Inside, the case is divided into three pockets; one large specifically for the programming unit, a second with sufficient space for adapters, clips and probes plus a third for smaller items.

Many locksmiths are have expressed interest in working with the EEPROM chips in vehicle immobilizers and ECUs. To address these requests, Andromeda Research has created two updated kits which are targeted specifically at vehicle locksmith applications. Both kits are based on the proven technology of the automotive kit components but also include specific locksmith librarian applications, A Toyota/Lexus ECU syncronization block plus Honda RED and Black keys.

Andromeda Research products are designed for in-circuit reading/programming (parts are not removed from the board) of EEPROMS and microcontrollers whenever possible. Although rare, there are instances where in-circuit access is inhibited due to excessive circuit loading by components or connections on the target assembly. The programming system will limit drive current to avoid damaging assembly components. In most cases there is a pin or pins on the target part which causes the problem. The purpose of the LOGIC/TEST PROBE is to identify which pin(s) present the in-circuit load. Once identified, the offending pin can be isolated or lifted which prevents the need to unsolder the entire part. The LP-1 addresses the loading issue by allowing you to test each pin for in-circuit compatibility. (additional information)
