| - | The EEPROM Shield Kit allows you to build a Digispark shield which connects a 256 kbit serial electrically erasable PROM (EEPROM) memory IC to the Digispark development board. The IC used is the Microchip 24LC256 and it communicates with the Digispark over the I²C bus. The EEPROM Shield can be used to store data even after the device is powered off. The IC has an endurance rating of over 1 million write/erase cycles and its rated data retention is more than 200 years. | ||
| - | |||
| - | This is an unassembled kit and requires basic soldering. This is designed for use with the Digispark development board, which is not included. | ||

| - | **Resistor Values:** For more information on how to identify the value of the resistors we recommend these sites: | ||
| - | A nice simple resistor calculator: http://www.ealnet.com/m-eal/resistor/resistor.htm | ||
| - | A comprehensive article on identification: http://www.diyaudioandvideo.com/Electronics/Color/ | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Soldering:** If you are new to soldering we recommend the following tutorials: | ||
| - | Soldering Basics (http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/106) and Soldering Crash Course from the folks at Sparkfun (http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorials/354). | ||
| - | How to solder from the Curious Inventor: http://store.curiousinventor.com/guides/How_to_Solder | ||
| - | |||
| - | Adafruit has this excellent guide that starts with the tools needed and then shows detailed pictures, including some of the common problems that beginners experience (http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-guide-excellent-soldering) | ||
| - | |||
| - | **We assume for these assembly instructions that you know the basics of thru-hole soldering. If you don't check out the links above, these boards are very easy to solder - we promise!** | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | =====Assembly:===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | **NOTE:** If you have a "Model B" board you may need to cut the trace to the onboard LED before using any I2C devices - Find out how to tell which board you have and what to do here: [[digispark:tutorials:modelbi2c]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | Empty kit bag (or if using a raw PCB, aquire parts) and verify contents. | ||
| - | **Note for Kickstarter Backers and Pre-orders:** Headers are not included in each kit bag, but the entire order came with more than enough headers for all kits. | ||

| - | |||
| - | Solder resistors one at a time. Solder the leads and clip off the excess. Repeat for all resistors. | ||
| - | |||

| - | |||
| - | Insert the 8 pin DIP socket into the board matching the indention cut out on one end with the indention printed on the board. | ||
| - | |||
| - | [[https://s3.amazonaws.com/digispark/images/m/eeprom4.jpg|{{https://s3.amazonaws.com/digispark/images/t/eeprom4.jpg}}]] | ||
| - | |||
| - | Cut a length of male headers 6 pins long and one 3 pins long. Insert into corresponding positions (on the bottom of the board) and solder each pin. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Tip:** Inserting the headers into a breadboard and then placing the board on top can make this process easier. | ||
| - | |||
| - | **Note:** If you are using stackable headers, use them here instead of the standard male headers. | ||

| - | Insert the 24LC256 EEPROM IC into the 8 pin DIP socket matching the indention cut out on one end with the indention on the socket. | ||

| - | |||
| - | Your EEPROM shield is complete! | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | =====Programming:===== | ||
| - | |||
| - | *TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: If you experience trouble writing to the EEPROM try connecting a jumper wire from Pin 4 of the IC (or any GND) to Pin 7 of the IC (Pins: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/devicedoc/21203m.pdf) - some boards may be missing this connection, we are looking into it further.* | ||
| - | |||
| - | |||
| - | The pin connections are as follows: | ||
| - | |||
| - | Digispark P0 -> SDA | ||
| - | Digispark P2 -> SCL | ||
| - | |||
| - | The I2C Address is 0x50 | ||
| - | |||
| - | Please refer to the EEPROM example included with the Digispark Arduino Addon. | ||
