Arduino powered Eprom Programmer

[zeplabs]

This time we are called to read some EPROMs. And we need a programmer to do so!

EPROM stands for Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. They have been around for a quite long time, but being such a huge game changer back in the day, they still stand their ground really well, being used in pretty much every technological application of today's world.
In modern world EPROMs are pretty much extinct, day by day, being replaced with EEPROMS, which are electronically erasable (unlike the conventional ones which are being erased by exposure to UV light through a tiny window on the chip) but they are still broadly used in they industry, where machines are so complex, expensive, specific and extraordinary, which increases their lifespan, making in some cases a machine fabricated in the 80s still a newbie!
So today we have one of those cases, where we need to copy some such EPROMs coming from a machine called Zakar, which works alongside with a loom in the fabric-making industry.
Let's have a look!
