Re: Group Buy: CH341A Programmer

That's good to know, @Gabriel.

I'm not sure why my initial email bounced. For people who are wondering how this works:

- Send email to [email]skygz@qq.com[/email], tell him you'd like to buy the software only. This is for the "non-dongle" version of the USB CH341A programmer that you can find on Amazon, eBay, and the like. Current version 1.31.
- He'll come back with a Paypal link. The fee is US-$ 10

I found a working blog address, [url]http://blog.163.com/skygz@126/[/url] . Here's the note from that blog regarding software registration:

I'd love to give SkyGZ 5 bucks, he surely deserves it.

Email to [email]skygz@qq.net[/email] bounces back.

The blog he used to run is gone.

Skygz.world.taobao.com is still around, and there's a tab where he talks of his software. I can't make heads or tails of it, no idea what I'm supposed to do next.

I have an older version 1.18, before he started requiring registration, and that seems to work. It'll likely be fine for my use. Still, I wouldn't mind rewarding the author for his work. I just can't...
