What chip do I use for this burner

[cano86]

Sorry for probably a stupid question but here it goes if am going to use (The BURN1 Flash-n-Burn USB-Based Chip Programmer [Model: BURN1]) Do I use the chip in my ECU or do I have to buy a specific chip please help me on this one thanks.

The Burn1 is a revolutionary device that was designed with the automotive enthusiast in mind. it supports the most popular chips found in ECUs in the late 80s and early 90’s.

Before the Burn1 was developed, there were only a handful of chip burners known to be compatible with these chips. These burners were usually not cost-effective, used outdated PC interfaces like a parallel Printer port. They also required external power supplies, so forget burning on the fly. Examples include the $160 Pocket Programmer II.

The Burn1 was revolutionary with its simple USB interface that provided all power to the unit. An internal DC voltage step-up circuit is used to provide the high erase voltage required on certain chips.

The latest generation of the Burn1 is the Burn2. It has the same same command set and features as the Burn1 but has a smaller size.

I use 60/40 rosin core solder. Use the finest (smallest) size available to you.

Using rosin core solder correct?? I can solder yes. As to how well Ive done many a solder jobs, but most just on wiring.. But soldering on an ecu, I have done none. So don't know if I should trust myself.

Lucky me am a welder, brazer,and solderer.3 years experience

SST-27SF512 are the chips that I use. We got them in a pack of 5 off EBAY for $25. Only really need one since they are electronically erasable. Also if you order the BURN1 off of Moates site you will get their new BURN2 since the old one is discontinued. It is pretty much the same thing but in a smaller package.

Here's an image of a chip and socket:

I was told to use the 27C256 chip?

Good luck finding them... I don't think they are easy to find these days.

The 27SF512 is a 64k chip whereas the 27C256 is a 32k chip. With the burn2 it will automatically set your burn offset so that you can burn a 32k image to the 64k chip.
