eeprom programmer

 Wanted to be able to program 28C64s and 28C256s because they looked easy and cheapish for up and coming boards, eg 1802, 6502.

Was learning Vim at the time and was quite slow at getting code into Arduino IDE via Vim edit page. Also got preoccupied with tweaks and tips. Today, finally got Uno system to program clunky breadboards to read in 5 bytes and program them and verify via terminal. Here's the pic:

(NB, numbers seem to be one off. Was expecting 65,66,67... but got 66,67,..Will sort it out.


Here's the breadboard lashup:


The schematic isn't all in one place, so that will be the next job.

The main idea is to use the I2C bus of the Arduino to drive the two MCP23008s which have 8 I/O pins each. These, in turn, connect to the 28C64's I/O, and to the 4040 which generates 12 address lines and the control lines: CE*,OE* and WE*. The 28C64 was used because there were some already ordered from AliExpress and the MCP23008s were used because they were available at the local Jaycar store.

The Uno program used is: C:\Users\Dell\Documents\Arduino\Working2023_01\vimMCP93\vimMCP93.ino

To Do: Fix one-off error above. (NB. Put in sprinf() into next version (...94) and it now seems to work OK. Not sure what problem was but it's reporting faithfully. See pic below:) 



To do continued:

    1. schematic made
    2. schematic into EasyEda
    3. Some boards made and retested
    4. Works for 28c256?
    5. Send reliable binary file from output of 1802asm via PySerial.
Final version: C:\Users\Dell\Documents\Arduino\Working2023_01\vimMCP95\vimMCP95.ino
below:


Next: work on schematic and pcb layout to send to China. While waiting for that do some more Python to Uno byte-buffer sending.

Spud sensor update 3 August 2022

 Sender WemosI going ok. This is driven by C:\Users\Dell\Documents\Arduino\WorkingOctober22\SpudSensor94H\SpudSensor94H.ino which takes values of temperature and humidity from HDU21 device,with  SparkFun driver, and sends these values to Wemos II, the Listener. Listener's display on serial terminal looking a bit crude but works OK. https://pastebin.com/Fvw5NZbS is the Sender program that reads the HUD21 device and sends info. via espNow to Listener program on WemosII below.. C:\Users\Dell\Documents\Arduino\WorkingOctober22\SpudSensor94H\SpudSensor94H.ino https://pastebin.com/TGdvqSh5 is the Listener program C:\Users\Dell\Documents\Arduino\WorkingAugust22\SantosSensor7\SantosSensor7.ino (NB not ...Sensor6.ino above. Slight improvement. Next task is to tidy up listener code and include semaphore codes that help transfer file chunks from Sensor to Listener. Codes currently are 51 = normal file chunk being delivered from Sensor 59=last fule chunk-ette of extras. (<200 bytes) 11 List

WEMOs mini going

 Having difficulty soldering NRF24L01 holes to header, very small gaps. So gave up on that for the time being and will concentrate for a while on ESP Now via three Wemos minis I bought recently from TradeMe. Did not install new Jason file etc by following  https://www.teachmemicro.com/getting-started-wemos-d1-mini/ who had different Jason file, but I's previously installed one while I was waiting for Wemos Mini's. Blink sketch went off according to plan and now I want to try out some ESP now functions. First, look at a few You Tubes and look for some functions I can call from ESP now library with just one mini . void setup() {   // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.   pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT); } // the loop function runs over and over again forever void loop() {   digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)   delay(100);                       // wait for a second   digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);    // turn the LED off by
