Title: Adding FlashMemory to existing R6 Moteinos
Post by: fetster on August 23, 2018, 06:21:12 AM
Hi All,

I purchased a few Moteino R6's without the flash memory chips a few weeks ago. I've just ordered separate flash chips and I'm trying to install them on the existing Moteino boards.

I've managed to solder them on, do I need to do anything else to enable them?

Also what is the best way to test that the flash memory is installed correctly and working?

Thanks

Nothing else needed. Just ensure you have good solder joints, that's it, all the rest is done in code/firmware. This assumes that your FLASH-MEM has the same pinout as the stock FLASH-MEM offered by LowPowerLab (https://lowpowerlab.com/shop/product/72).

If you used the same chips, then the SPIFlash lib examples (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/SPIFlash) and all other RFM69 lib examples (https://github.com/LowPowerLab/RFM69/tree/master/Examples) that interact with the FLASH-MEM will work.
