Among the cheapest tool to work with eeprom and MCU

[fuzz1]

Hi
If anyone is interested in starting working in eeprom and MCU let me know. I'll share my experience with the cheapest but still workable solution.

Not claiming it's the best solution but still can do the job.

Check CG100, all EEPROM's and many MCU

Eeprom cheapest ch341a. With some take long tweaks it works. Can read lots of them. Neoprogrammer.

vvdi prog now also in good price.................much more stable as xprog

Both genuine tool's is good and both have +/- .

UPA s is good i must say. Down side hasn't been updated for a while.
Plus side Rarely corrupts data.
And probably cheapest doing rh850 chips

To start the work with eeprom
You need also the following
A desoldering station
Heat gun plus soldering iron minimum cost around usd 50
Third hand with magnifying glass USD 10
Brass wool to clean tip
Desoldering wick
Solder
Flux
About usd 100 for everything cheapest i found but does the job

I have ch341, eeproms read write no problem, but i would like to learn more about programming itself, on which address what to change an so on...

[fuzz1]

I guess if you want to start with programming then a good starting point would be the chip data sheets. They will give you the address
