Fix corrupted Elite chips? about cartridgewriter

The best bet is to use the tool at https://github.com/bvanheu/stratasys. It is more fault tolerant, less buggy, and better supported and should allow you to restore the chip.

I have been trying to use that but several things hold me back. 1, I am completely new to the python language, whereas I know a bit of C#. 2, I am using an Arduino to connect the 1-wire chip as per your schematic. Should the same setup work with the tool you refer to? I tried to use it but I couldn't get it to communicate with the chip.

It should work, but I haven't actually done anything in this area for more than three years so it is possible the code base has changed to something I'm not familiar with. It worked for me though in the past; I was using an Arduino Micro like the one at, https://www.mouser.com/new/arduino/arduino-micro/, (though I don't know if anything has changed on that either in the four years since I last bought one) with the bvauheu/stratasys repository.
