with a bit of fiddling you can keep a 1wire device dead without power draw

Don't you just hate when you wind up in a store with people who are in a socioeconomic class that is pretty obviously about two levels lower than your own?

What kind of device need 470F of capacitors and what is the onrush current draw?

I'm not sure what the original application is; I picked it up at Halted because it was cool. It's made by Fuji Electric High-Tech Corp and is called "SCU" according to the sticker on it, which I assume means "super capacitor unit" but idk

wait poo poo ive been using capitals and punctuation and poo poo

i think i remember looking the caps up and finding that they have a pretty high internal resistance, so id expect that they're for some sort of rail stiffening or something, rather than a huge amount of rush current

upon cursory googlin', it appears to be a raid array cache "battery" bank

similar to that, same part number except for the end bit. so id guess this is for something very similar

the total phase aardvark is a pretty cheap spi/i2c host adapter that can do SPI @ 8MHz

is there any reason you wouldn't use the arduino / avr's hardware SPI? i'm not familiar with the arduino but i'm familiar enough with mcu's to know the simplest peripherals can be broken pos's :(

so wait the bus pirate is 8mhz, I have a 64Mbit flash. it shouldn't take 30 minutes to write. is this just flashrom being terrible?

Yeah maybe its not the flashrom thats the problem. i googled "64Mbit spi flash" and this is the first data sheet i found. http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/25036B.pdf

this fellow has 256 byte pages, a "fast" 1.5ms page program time, this is about 45 seconds 6 minutes to program the whole 64Mbit. maybe 30 minutes is reasonable for your flash device i did a bad math

hopefully it isn't doing something moronic with the flash like trying to write it byte-at-a-time resulting in 256 read-modify-writes per page

yeah was working that out when you did the edit. the chip in question is actually the winbond equivalent, small spi flash chips are all very similar though

when i said flashrom i meant the program flashrom which was originally intended for open source/free software crazy people to modify their motherboard's bios

64Mbit/115kbaud = 600s.

if you're taking book suggestions i used this in school, it does a decent job explaining modulation forms, radio receivers/transmitters and transmission line stuff, IIRC it was pretty good at showing circuit examples too
