Parallel EEPROM Programmer

This is a Shield extension board for Arduino UNO R3 that adds the ability to read and write parallel EEPROM chips.

PCB

This repository contains:

  • Arduino code
  • Interactive Python based client to read and write to the EEPROM
  • KiCad scehmatic and PCB

Installation and assembly

Install platformio to compile and upload the firmware to the Arduino:

text
$ platformio run --target upload

Order the PCB either directly from Oshpark, or use the included Gerber files with any other board house.

With the shield attached to the Uno and hooked up to a computer, fire up the Python client. To write an image to the EEPROM:

text
$ source ./env/bin/activate
$ cat image.bin | ./eeprom.py load 
Loading 400 bytes into EEPROM...
100%
Complete.
$

PCB Layout

The PCB can be ordered from OSH Park.

Questions

How big is the Eeprom PCB?

It measures 68.8 × 53.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Eeprom use?

10 parts, built around the 74HC595. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Eeprom KiCad files?

From the erikvanzijst/eeprom repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is kicad/kicad.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Eeprom design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask erikvanzijst before reusing the design.
