Xgpro is used with programmers from XGecu. The official web site is here: www.xgecu.com/en/. I am using a TL866II Plus which I bought off eBay. A less-expensive route would be to use a CH341A programmer. Those can be found for about $12 on Amazon. The major difference is that it's designed for just 8-pin EEPROMs where the TL866II Plus can program a wide variety of chips. If you're only interested in the identity chips, the CH341A is the way to go. This entry on instructables.com should help you get your CH341A up and running: www.instructables.com/CH341A-Programmer/
As the identity chip is right now, the only way to change the color is to remove it, reprogram it with a new color, then reinsert the identity chip. I don't know if there's a way to add executable code to the memory chip and get the identity disc to execute that code, my guess would be there isn't. An identity chip that does that might be possible with the addition of a microcontroller that could either proxy reads to the memory chip and alter the values when a read command for the location of the color values comes through or reprogram the memory chip on the fly. There would also need to be something that triggers the identity disc to think the chip has been removed and reinserted; I'm not sure how it's doing that, but my guess is it'll have to do with power appearing on one of the pins; so maybe a transistor on that pin to break the connection when needed. Getting the memory chip, the microcontroller, and the transistor to all fit within the area of an identity chip might be a bit difficult as well, but there's probably room for a couple more holes to fit them within the PCB.
@@Ruthsarian Understood. I noticed that in the display sometimes they got it to flash but that thing was literally wired to the base and probably connected to a system that could do it manually.
Cool af, now it's worth buying a disc
Also, in the rinzler disk, it switches between orange and blue, depending on what sound effect . That is something i may look into
I will be going to orlando soon . I'm probably gonna buy extra identiy chips to test things around
I really need to learn python
Would it be possible to extend the time before it turns off automatically?
I don't think that's possible with an identity chip.
Does anyone sell just id chips tonget digferent colors?
I just got an identity program figure and Im going to try this out. Where can I download Xgpro thats safe?

@@Ruthsarian Thanks I was thinking that it was a general interface. Thanks for the link to CH341A. Ill let you know how it runs.
@@roddyandrewsdehart1155 how did it turn out? i just got the action figure too. and want to customize it.
Would it be possible to make one that cycles all the colors?
