Current version from repository has already this feature. Try it. If you have a problem with compilation add spaces around "format" -> " format " in ./src/error.h ( macros _ERROR, ERROR and MESSAGE )

Could you add to program crc16add algoritm and computed result like windows version? Thanks.

Hi. Thanks for the advice but it still doesn't write to the chips correctly. Im not sure the board is willem, its probably a copy. Not to worry. I will have to resort to windows software to do the work. Sincerely many thanks for trying to help me.
-
It's hard to find schematic for this version (found very poor scan), but I see it is something changed in shift registers for address. Do you have jumpers set to old version (version 3 not 5.0e - jumpers near DB25 connector ) ? Currently I cannot check it because I have no willem board.
-
Hello. The chips are M27C512-10F1. The programmer is Willem 5.0e copy. Thanks
-
What types of chip do you tried ?
-
I've tried just about everything I can with this and have to admit defeat. I can get the softwear to read chips and veryfy they are blank. I've also managed to write to a chip on two occassions but the write was unsuccessful. I've tried it as sudo and myself with varying voltages, i.e. usb and 13.8v (which works with windows) too. Its a shame as its been great fun learning about the lpt port under ubuntu. It would have made the project worthwhile had I got a result. P.S the reason I didn't make a...

"Python is actually a wrapper to make C easier. It is interpreted, true, but a lot of system calls available in C are available in Python. Not that Geepro should use Python, I was curious what your thoughts are." So, maybe only plugins for ICs should be in Python and the rest in C/C++. This approach would eliminate necessity of recompilation code to add new IC. But as I mentioned above, I have no experience with Python.

I also thought to rebuild it to the model: engine in command line and GUI in C++, but using then for it Python or Java would be good choice.

At first sorry for retarded reply, I have no notification when a new post appear on this forum. You can set it up here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/geepro/ scroll down and click the follow button. As Reuben said, if you want to help, you are welcomed :). There is a lot of work to do. Have you ever considered switching GEEPRO to Python for easier code? Maybe you have no experience in Python?
-
Hi to all, At first sorry for retarded reply, I have no notification when a new post appear on this forum. The high voltage programmers are still expensive, the cheap ones are mostly for EEPROM only. LPT Willem is very simplified programmer and do not let many features like read signatures (need A9 to be rised to Vpp), programm some 28xx chip (need Vcc rise to 6V). It is also pure design (address and data line is serialized in communication with PC, makes it slowly, no controll on CE, dipsw as configuration)....
-
Sorry, but reading some of their forum comments seems to indicate mcumall will probably never release Linux software. The GQ-5X was supposed to, but it hasn't happened. they'd be willing to share whatever information is needed to make geepro work My reply is to quote Linus Torvalds. 'Anybody can talk, show me the code.'

What needs to be done to support USB-based programmers like the True USB GQ-4X? See http://www.mcumall.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=749 for a discussion on this. I'm sure they'd be willing to share whatever information is needed to make geepro work.

Hi, and welcome to GEEPRO. I am sure if krzkomar (the original dev) finds the time, he will fill in more information. The willem programmers are quite easy to pick up. Have a look at http://www.mcumall.com/support/DualPoweredWillemUserGuide.htm. Remember to keep away from usb run devices. They will not work with GEEPRO. Usb powered is fine, but not usb communication. And a parallel port of course. I used a PCI to parallel adapter. Software is most any Linux distro and the GEEPRO source. There are...

When I last read about EPROM programmers they were +$10,000 (or was it more?) dollars and the software was closed source. Now it looks like you guys are reverse engineering the SW and the programmers themselves are down to <$70. I am interested in knowing about the software and what I would need (SW and HW wise), to cut my teeth into this field. Who am I? A Linux study a-holic guru who is getting himself from SW into the field of HW. Thanks!
