Question Programming / Upgrading Electronics Firmware?

    I see lots of discussion here about programming and updating electronics. I have a set of pedals I purchased from someone that look like a copy of Heusinkveld Ultimate pedals. The reason I know they're not original is because they're all black and Heusinkvelds don't come in black. I have 2 questions:

    - How can I change the load cell force in relation to the software calibration? Currently, 100% input is measuring probably somewhere in the 60 - 90 Kg range. The person I purchased from said it's like this because he got the pedals with the white German rubbers as opposed to the harder green ones so I guess the electronics were setup for less force. It has a 200 Kg Mavin load cell and I'm looking to be able to adjust up to around 140 Kg or so. I assume this requires some way of me either updating the electronics connected to the load cell on the brake pedal itself or the pedals' separate control board.

    - Is there any way I can use the original Heusinkveld Ultimate+ control board to work with these pedals? I purchased the Heusinkveld Ultimate Upgrade Kit but when I plug these pedals into the upgrade kit's Ultimate+ control board, it doesn't read properly. It seems to constantly think the pedals aren't pressed at all or are pressed all the way, and no amount of messing with calibration changes anything, there's no response from the pedals. Is there a way I can program the electronics in the pedals or talk with the Ultimate+ controller board?

    Sorry this is not about motion simulation but I don't know where else to ask about sim racing and programming and updating controller boards and things like that besides this website.
