Devices used by you guys.

[MJ-meo-dmt]

Hi

I would like to gather some information about programmers and other devices you guys prefer. Recommend some tools you guys found that work great.

BIOS Programming. mainly
KBC(EC) Programming
JTAG.
ECU/BCM/ECM/TCM Flashing
Connectors, Devices, Slots, things and stuff. Anything worth getting.

At the moment I'm using the Sofi SP8 and a MiniPro TL866CS with a few different connectors and things. I also have a Raspberri and Arduino and a CAN Shield for CAN Bus / ECU stuff.

I want something that always works because this TL866CS aint bad but sometimes it just complains about shit, its so fking finicky... Is there a package or kit that someone would recommend I get that you know works well.

The other thing is I work on Linux so it would be great if the software supports that.... But that's usually a long shot.

Thanks
MJ
