Re: SPI Eprom Automotive 25LC04AE Cannot write correctly

Hi Jake,
could you please specify concretely device type? In your description you have mentioned 25LC04 and also 25LC40. So which one is the correct?
If you think that the write failure is caused by spi bus speed, than you can try to edit the "PonyProg2000.ini" file located in PonyProg2000 folder. There is a key, namely SPIBusSpeed and it can be setup to any of these values: NORMAL, TURBO, FAST, SLOW, VERYSLOW, ULTRASLOW.
Yours sincerely
