I have a logic analyzer coming in the mail, but thought I might ask for help here first.

I soldered the 25Q128 flash onto an adapter and wired it up to an Arduino UNO clone as you can see in the images below. I get nonsense data in the serial monitor. The 4 10k resistors are connected in parallel to GND and there are 4.7k resistors on the SCK, MISO, MOSI and CS lines. I am using the TestFlash sketch from the SPIMemory Arduino library by Marzogh. Could it be a bad soldering joint? Or am I missing something?

I used this as a guide also:

Here are some pictures and a diagram.

    That "guide" is bad. You don't want any resistors on MISO. Just connect it direct between the Arduino and the chip.

You will be better to buy one of these from aliExpress. enter image description here

here's de pinout connections to an arduino:

  • Pin 1 - CS

  • Pin 2 - D0 (I/O1)

  • Pin 3 - VCC (I/O2)

  • Pin 4 - GND

  • Pin 5 - Di

  • Pin 6 - CLK

  • Pin 7 - VCC (I/O)

  • Pin 8 - VCC

this connection setup does not make use of the full data parallel async I/O, as you can see only I/O1 is connected to D0. This way has much slower data transfers.

  • what is "pin 1"? Uno TX pin?

  • CS = chip select Commented Oct 13, 2021 at 7:09

    I ask what are the pins on the left. Uno pins? you use the TX pin as CS?

  • you can use any digital pin for CS Commented Oct 13, 2021 at 12:55
