EEPROM Programming error

Vyrus

when running the following example code, I get an error message in the Propeller Tool that sais "EEPROM Programming error on com4", however I can load to RAM just fine.· Also when i unplug my serial -> usb adapter, what ever code I'm running stops.

There's something wrong with the wiring of your EEPROM on your board (or the EEPROM itself).

When you unplug your USB to Serial adapter, you're probably causing the Propeller to reset. Since the EEPROM isn't working, the Propeller can't load a program into RAM from EEPROM and the chip halts.

hm... perhaps i should re solder the eeprom and see if that works ... if nothig else i guess i can swap to the stock one (I orderd one of the bigger ones)
