i presume thas ok for this driver?
is it something thatcan be messed up easily?

To reflash the chip, you’ll have to remove the driver completely, as the µC is on the flip-side. That means desoldering the pill, as I recall the Convoys are soldered-in vs using a retaining ring (but you’ll have to confirm that).

As long as you’re okay with doing that, you should be fine. (Get ‘avrdude’, too.)
