Canon Service Tool V6000 Upd Jun 2026

As Canon continues to manufacture new printers, the older V6000 tool will inevitably lose compatibility. The update path has already moved from V6000 → V6100 → V6200 → V6300 → V6310. The V6310 is now the recommended base version for users with printers manufactured from mid-2023 onwards.

About LEAP

LEAP is my personal collection of electronics projects - usually involving an Arduino or other microprocessor in one way or another. Some are full-blown projects, while many are trivial breadboard experiments, intended to learn and explore something interesting.

Projects are often inspired by things found wild on the net, or ideas from the many great electronics podcasts and YouTube channels. Feel free to borrow liberally, and if you spot any issues do let me know or send a pull-request.

NOTE: For a while I included various scale modelling projects here too, but I've now split them off into a new repository: check out LittleModelArt if you are looking for these projects.
