Feature Request: re-program product string. #114

Closed mjp66 closed 5 months ago

mjp66 commented 5 months ago

This is not a bug report, but a feature request.

I purchased two 2-channel relay boards which arrived with the same serial number. I used your program on a Raspberry Pi to rename one of them. I later purchased two more units, and these units had unintelligible serial numbers, which your program was also able to fix. But the second set of relays have an additional problem: they claim to be 4 channel units instead of 2 channels, i.e. report USBRelay4.

Do you think you might be able to reprogram this 'product' string?

Thanks for a great program, -Mike

That was nice of them. Does ignoring 3 & 4 cause any issues? The firmware is open source, I wonder if it's possible to replace the firmware with the correct count.
