An open-source hardware/firmware project that defeats the DRM on Bob dishwasher detergent cassettes, allowing users to reset and refill them with generic detergent at roughly 1/60 of the official cartridge cost. It is written in C for a custom embedded device (the 'Bob Rewinder').

Use cases

  • reset bob cassette counter
  • refill dishwasher detergent cartridge
  • bypass bob cassette drm
  • save money on dishwasher detergent
  • rewind bob cassette wash counter
  • hack daan tech bob dishwasher

When to choose

  • you own a Bob dishwasher and want to avoid expensive proprietary cassettes
  • you want to refill cartridges with bulk detergent at a fraction of the cost
  • you enjoy DIY hardware projects and DRM reverse-engineering

When to avoid

  • you don't own a Bob dishwasher
  • you're unwilling to build or buy the rewinder hardware
  • you prefer to keep the device under warranty and unmodified
