I've been watching this thread for about a year. I think it's really great of condac to open-source his code, and I hope this will lead to more improvements and possibly ready-made transponders for folks who aren't comfortable soldering and flashing.
However, I cannot overstate how amazing howardcano's work has been. None of this would have happened without his initial work, continued efforts, and advice to others. A simple "attaboy" doesn't seem sufficient for what he's achieved, but it's all I have to offer.
