Serial EEPROM programmer

[completenoob]

Does anybody know of any serial EEPROM programmer with a
USB interface that is relatively inexpensive?

I'm looking for something similar to kitsrus' Kit 151:

except with a USB interface, rather than a parallel port interface.

Thank you.

A USB port one is most likely to require a processor on board, which does the USB interface and the actual programming. As such it's going to be considerably more expensive. You might try looking at PonyProg at , which has serial hardware, it 'might' work with a USB/serial converter.

Hi Nigel, what if I don't really need the programming ability of the serial EEPROM programmer,
and just want to get data off of some serial EEPROMs?

I basically need to build a simple logger circuit and then I need to get the data out.

Thank you!

then stick to kit 151 and if your pc has no rs232 port get usb to rs232 converter

A datalogger would normally use a processor (like a PIC?), certainly if you are writing to serial EEPROM it's almost certain to. So you simply write routines in the software to dump the data from the EEPROM out to RS232.
