If you want to save money, buy TL866 at AliExpress.

Hello everybody, I'm new here. Searching for solutions to my TL866CS programmer I come to this place. Lots of interesting information's here. I've been reading whole thread and there's plenty of useful things. Congratulation to all contributors.
Now the problem I encounter... Reading 29F200 flash memory (sop44)... I'm getting different read every time, also when verifying. Checked adapters and good contact, ID is all good. If I'm reading different flash memory ex 29F400 (tsop48) there's no problem. Anybody encounter this? Thanks.

Are you reading it with the exact adapter the MiniPro asks you for?

.... Reading 29F200 flash memory (sop44) ... I'm getting different read every time, also when verifying ...
I have no problems with 29F100s and others in that series type. Have you looked at a memory dump? How many bytes look wrong?
There's usually huge chunks of FFs or 00s. Is it very slow memory? Maybe CS etc is too fast?
I've had similar problems in the past and have to ADD pull-up resnets on the address lines, and pull-dn on the data bus. app 33-100K
I even made a custom adapter with selectable jumpers. If you have an oscilloscope, you'll see immediately if all the address / data lines
are "clean", or if there's loading / timing issues.

Thank for quick replying.
@ EdoNork - Yes I'm using the right adapters. In software we can find the right adapters to use once we select the right eeprom/memory/flash etc....
@ digsys - Different checksum at every read/verify, sometime around 12000 differences sometime around 3000 difference (never the same number of differences, always different read) .
I've tried AM29F200BB and AM29F200AB they are found on cars ecu. I think they are fast chips since the car injection map is loaded into this flash memories. My old parallel port Willem PCB.5 reads them spot on.... I've made solder on type adapter for my Willem but they don't last so many soldering/unsoldering....
Would love to be able to read them into supplied TL866 adapter because they don't need any soldering.
Your custom adapter solution looks interesting, would you mind posting a picture? Sorry I don't have any oscilloscope... Back on my problem.... Could be related to speed/timing issues? I even tried a usb powered hub thinking my laptop could not supply enough juice to programmer... Still no luck....Thanks.

Well, probably this is not a reason but it`s worth to try:
- try to wash pins fom 29F200 with alcohol (or some other cleaner) and gently pass thru all pins with some precise tweezers....then try read it with ZIF socket. ZIFs are very good, but only way to have 100% good contact is to solder IC (soldering adapter).

mine came today (dhl):
some kind of 'gift' (lol) was included, too. kind of funny. it has a scent; maybe its meant to be hung up to make the room smell 'different'? not sure.
this is the item I ordered, and I paid $15 extra for faster shipping, which really was pretty good (other sellers wanted much more for 'faster shipping').
http://www.ebay.com/itm/321085130796I will try using it today and see how it goes. just in time to copy my dallas chip data on my tek scope over to a new nvram module!
(I wonder if I put that gift into my scope, maybe it will make the scope smell nice, too? LOL)

Thanks,
I am new on the forum.
Just made modification on my Willem Pro TL866CS it works nice as a TL866A . Other than the firmware and the icsp port nothing missing from the board, only had to solder the ICSP header on.

Hi ,
the erase fonction is depending of the selected chip..
for example it is grayed whith a 27256 UVPROM

sorry if this is too obvious a question, but I can't seem to find an english link to click on to get the latest firmware/software. can anyone provide it? should I just go with the latest downloadable, or is there a 'good' version to stay with?
I've installed the version that came on the cdrom and that worked, but I don't see an obvious link for latest support code.

Hi,
only click on help....>update on line..
then come a page ,with on the bottom left V6.00 in red and on the right "something1" and "something2" in blue...
click on "something1 or 2 for downloading the update.
the direct adress is "
http://www.autoelectric.cn/minipro/minipro_setup.rar"

LOL
thanks. I guess I was able to follow that.
vendor: is it really too much to ask for, to have a few languages that let users pick updates without having to guess what 'something1' means?
....would be nice.

Hi I have exact the same problem with autocarg. I tried to read and write many times the flash 29F400BB sop44 but every time with different checksum. Please any help for this problem.
Many thanks in advance.

I try to update to version 6 but says message fake adapter and I reflash again to 5.91 + firmware, now don't appear message fake adapter but I can't read / write correct the flash 29f400 ( every time different checksum)
what is bad ?
1)base adapter
2) sop 44 adapter
3) programmer tl866a
Thanks

"Base adapter" if I understand you correctly. That's the one with some chips on it (your first picture, left one) is not genuine. Radioman has been working on a solution for that, but I don't know how far he has come with this.

@spiridonas the answer is in your questions!
Now the problem I encounter... Reading 29F200 flash memory (sop44)... I'm getting different read every time, also when verifying. Checked adapters and good contact, ID is all good. If I'm reading different flash memory ex 29F400 (tsop48) there's no problem.

TL866 and base adapter can be excluded because you can read and write the TSOP48 chip variant.
Remain the sop44 adapter (might be a bad pin contact) or the memory chip itself.
"Base adapter" if I understand you correctly. That's the one with some chips on it (your first picture, left one) is not genuine. Radioman has been working on a solution for that, but I don't know how far he has come with this.
Is far enough! i have an experimental replacement firmware for that Attiny13, and also the first version of Linux version of my firmware updater is ready to be tested here:
https://github.com/radiomanV/TL866 There's no do documentation yet on how to compile but i will update the readme file soon. Who want to contribute are welcome. Thanks.

I have the same Problem with AMD 29F800BB (also SOP).
Each read generates a new checksum.
Random filled buffer is not programmable.
So maybe a general problem?
I use the Version 6.0 with V3 Adapter.
