## Software (Python script) to control the EPROM emulator
### Currently recommended firmware and software:
* Firmware 2.0rc4 (EPROM_EMU_NG_FW_2.0rc4.ino - Arduino sketch in [Firmware](https://github.com/Kris-Sekula/EPROM-EMU-NG/tree/master/Firmware) folder)
* Software 2.0rc3 (EPROM_NG_v2.0rc3.py - Python script)
### If you want to try new features (increased speed of transfer, support for EEPROM) use the following:
* Firmware 2.0rc12 (EPROM_EMU_NG_FW_2.0rc12.ino - Arduino sketch in [Firmware](https://github.com/Kris-Sekula/EPROM-EMU-NG/tree/master/Firmware) folder)
* Software 2.0rc9 (EPROM_EMU_NG_2.0rc9.py - Python script)
Python script to control the EPROM EMULATOR NG.
The emulator will show up as a serial port on your computer, depending on your the OS type and version you may need to install drivers, follow this instructions:
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/how-to-install-ch340-drivers/all
Requires python 3.8, and the following libraries:
* pySerial (install by running the following commnad on your computer ```pip install pyserial```)
* pySimpleGui (```pip install pysimplegui```) 4.30.0 or above
parameters like type of memory, hex file etc should be provided via command line.
For **GUI mode**, just run the script **without parameters** and GUI will show up (of course only works in GUI environments :))
Example of parameters and output:
```
#python.exe EPROM_NG_v1.5h.py -mem 27256 -spi y -auto n 27256.HEX com4
Running EPROM EMU NG python script version 1.5h
Using serial port COM4, emulating: 27512 EPROM
