Great Product!

For Simple EEPROM Programmer shield for Arduino Mega

I purchased the PCB only as I already had all the other components. After about half an hour, the programmer board was sitting on top of the Arduino Mega 2560 board, ready to be "played with". A brand new Atmel AT28C256-15PV was inserted into the ZIF socket and, using the designer's Windows app to read/write EEPROMs (eewriter), all the operations were tested - read, write, and verify.

Eventually I have downloaded the ROM image I was interested in, uploaded to the ROM, and verified it - all went very smooth. Now I am waitng for one more component to complete my Harlequin 48K ZX Spectrum clone.

Thank you for a great product!

Very useful little board

For Simple EEPROM Programmer shield for Arduino Mega

Very useful little board - much better than messing around with a breadboard and loads of DuPont jumpers (and no chance of wiring it up incorrectly, either). Easy to quickly pop on or off when you need it.
Straightforward to solder, and the Arduino sketch works fine - I’m using an amended version of the python client, as I’m using a Mac, and it all works great.
Have a few Chinese AT28C256’s which appear to have the software protection on, and the Arduino code doesn’t unlock them, but I think it did work unlocking another EEPROM, so I think that’s a lack of consistency on the EEPROM side.
Much cheaper than buying a dedicated EEPROM programmer

A easy build and a great little kit. Worked first time!

For Simple EEPROM Programmer shield for Arduino Mega

I just bought the bare PCB because I had all the other parts in my spares box. An easy build that worked first time. I used it to burn a new kernal ROM onto a AT28C64B EEPROM for a VIC-20. Wrote and verified the ROM first time, and worked great in the VIC when paired with a Open2327RomAdapter.

Thanks for a wonderfully useful and value for money item!

very usefull programmer and economical.would recomend it.

For Simple EEPROM Programmer shield for Arduino Mega

I built this and it works great.just need to set the eeprom size in the menu.play around with it and its fine .i also put non volatile 32k ram the kind with the built i battery.and it read it ok.very usefull

Good board

For Simple EEPROM Programmer shield for Arduino Mega

I had been having difficulties building my own similar device from scratch, and this board gave me the kick start to write the Arduino code and PC code to make it all work. I haven't much tried the Arduino code provided, but I did use it and the provided paper documentation as reference for writing my own.

Learnt a lot because of this, thanks
