EEVBlog 121GW Multimeter Firmware Details
exe:
I think too he mentioned he has sources.
I tried to write my own firmware, but failed due to underestimation of effort and lack of knowledge of stm32. I thought I'd write a basic firmware in a few evenings, but failed even to get LCD working :/. Then I realized that I don't know how to control the main IC, and its datasheet was uncomfortably big.... So, many things it seems need to be implemented from scratch, it's not like an arduino-style development when all it takes is just install libraries and bind them all together in main().

any info for new firmware?? 2.00 really is full of bugs anyway

There is a basic open firmware with "Hello World" example.

"I just bought the 121GW from Welectron here in Europe and it came with firmware 1.61 so the 1.58 is already "old""
I just bought mine (June 2019) directly from Dave, and it is running 1.57 Firmware. I find the resistance mode very sluggish. Maybe new firmwar would fix that? I need to locate firmware and then I guess go buy a micro-sd card.

2.0 is definitely faster autoranging in resistance mode. To get it, go here and click on "firmware": https://www.eevblog.com/product/121gw/.
I thought all the meters came with a micro-SD card. Or was that just the kickstarter? Anyhow, you should probably check and make sure there isn't already one in there.
