Tunematic TM-1 firmware update on Screwdriver Antenna Controller for HF mobile

I received new firmware for my HF mobile antenna controller from Tunematic. Unfortunately this is a hardware update and it does require swapping hardware chip.
Old firmware 5.44,
New firmware 5.46

@@benmmm7359 I was doing this for a first time, but you are right for sure. I'm not a professional at this at all, I was doing this update on my personal unit. Overall, it worked and the controller is working with my screwdriver antenna

Nice little control box! btw is that red screwdriver the one from the dollar stores? NO criticism, I have same one, keep it handy and use it a lot, made of aluminum with the multiple shaped bits.

I've seen teeth get pulled out faster and easier. I was tempted to buy one of these units but after watching this video, I'm tempted to look elsewhere.
