attiny13 to attiny25 swap

ive ordered a driver”new firmware” from banggood

its onits way through the post

ive got a attiny25 in my hands

i took the attiny25 from one of lexels drivers that i hurt! :frowning:
long long story

i like bistroHD

is it possible to take off the attiny from this

and put the attiny25 in place of it

or im i going to kill the driver
i see the pinout is the same on the 13 and the 25

Technically not an unsolvable problem, but that driver uses only one channel while Bistro HD OTSM is flashed for 3 channels

so all that’s on Bistro 350-2100mA on Bistro is on Convoy 0-2.8A
single AMCs and FET channel have no effect, the mode groups are not really matching any useful driver behavior if you do it

That driver puts Pin 5 to ground, where Bistro outputs moonlight, so that pin needs to be lifted
Pin 7 resistor divider needs to be changed 1 and 3.3kOhm
Pyramid solder trick for adding diode and C2 from others, add C1 to battery voltage and ground, remove OTC

MCU is bigger, so you need to bend the legs below the body, just not leg 5

Its more useful to order a driver without MCU and MOSFET from me and put the 2 more expensive parts on it from the mechanical damaged board

hi lexel

its porberly better for me to orer a whole new driver (with spring and wires) if possible

ill send you a pm when my next salary comes to me as ive a few other bits and pieces to get for the home this time

give me a week or so and ill speak in pm again

other then that, thanks so much for your help
your driver took some stick from me and after ive unsoldered the tiny13 and fet and 7135s, cleaned it up . it looks like i could return it to its gloryious goodness again. after i find one of the resistors

but thats for a future project

again
thanks

ATTiny25 is not necessarily bigger than ATTiny13, depends on which package you buy…

No need to bend legs if you purchase the correct one.

Its an 25V and 209mil size

I don’t doubt you used the larger one on his driver, but just letting the forum know that the ATTiny25 comes in various sizes and some are the same size as the ATTiny13. You have to pay attention when ordering as the differences are coded so slightly it’s easy to get one that doesn’t fit the board.

Yes use same size for 25V and 85 for compatibility
