willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

ok, a lot of people have the same questions about the willem burner and see others asking questions that may seem over their head which i believe is scaring some people away from buying/using the willem. it's a great unit and is almost 1/2 the price of the next cheapest/reliable chip burner, so here is a step by step on how to use a willem dual power programmer :)

first off, you want to use the provided printer cable that came with your burner, if you did not get one, be sure to get one that is UNDER 6 feet in length! so plug the male end in to your printer/parallel port, and the female end in to your programmer. the parallel port provides the data to the programmer NOT THE POWER! as of right now, you're burner will not be powered, we'll cover that in a minute, there's a 'reccomended' order in which to do these steps!

next you'll want to insert the provide disc in to your cd-rom drive and locate it on your computer. (if you did not receive a disc, go to www.willem.org and download version 097g).
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...to/willem2.jpg

after you locate it on your computer, double click the icon indicating the cd-rom's location and you will see this menu.......
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...to/willem3.jpg

then, double click the 'software' folder to see the versions of sofware that were provided for you to use (depending on when you got your burner, you may have different version available, but '097g' should be present as it is the most stable version of their software available).
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...to/willem4.jpg


double click on the '097g' folder to open it, and then click on the little 'eprom' icon to run the program....
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...to/willem5.jpg


if this is not your first time opening the software, and you already have your 'device' set to '29c256'(covered in just a minute if this is your first time), you will see these little pop up boxes when you run the program, they're just telling you to be sure to use the jumper wire between pins #3 and #31 and to shut down the program after every burn and restart it (isn't really neccesarry, but if you notice a problem with back to back burns, it's reccomended you disconnect the power supply to your burner, and close the program completely and start fresh).
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...to/willem6.jpg


now the program should be running and it's time to select your device type (which type of chip you're using). i'll use the 'at29c256' as an example, as it's the most commonly used chip, however, 27c256 chips are just as common really, so if you select that as your device, the steps will be the same except you won't need to use the jumper wire (covered in a minute) and your 'dip switches' will be set up a little differently (covered in a minute). (if this is your FIRST TIME opening the software and setting your 'device type', the little pop up boxes that i posted above will be showing up now (if you selected 29c256) instead of when you opened the program, just click 'ok')
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...to/willem8.jpg

look up top to see if your 'board type' is set to 'willem', if it's not, click on the text and it will change....
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...illemextra.jpg


now that you have your device type selected, note the picture of the 'dip switches' and 'jumpers' on the software, the combination of these dips and jumpers will vary depening on what device you've selected, once again, this example is assuming that you're using a 29c256 (if you're using a 27c256, the jumpers stay the same, just the dip switches vary slightly).
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...to/willem9.jpg

here is where the first jumper and the dip switches are located on your burner, set them up to look exactly like the settings in the picture on the program (note: the 'blocks' in the picture that represents the jumper on the burner are to be place so they are on the two pins on the burner, that the block covers in the picture)
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...willem9 01.jpg

now there are three jumpers located here on your burner as well, they need to be positioned the same as the yellow blocks in the picture...
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem10.jpg
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...illem10 01.jpg

now, you're finally ready to install your chip in to the burner! you'll notice that they're are 32 pins on the ZIF socket on the burner, but you're chip only has 28 pins, that's fine, place the chip as pictured with the 'front' slots on the burner left empty.....
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem11.jpg

now, for the infamous dreaded 'jumper wire' that the willem requires you to use for 29c256 chips. it's really not as tough as everyone makes it out to be. get a THIN piece of wire, or a THIN paper clip and place it in pins #3 and #31 of the ZIF socket on the burner (pin #3 on the burner will actually be pin #1 of your chip, and pin #31 of your ZIF socket, will actually be the first empty slot after the last pin of your chip). now you're ready to close the lever on the ZIF socket, securing the chip and jumper wire in place.
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem12.jpg

now you're ready to 'power up' you're willem burner! as you can see in the picture, i'm using the provided usb power cable, if you didn't receive one, any usb cable will work that adapts to a usb source on your computer, and to the chip burner, you also have the option to use 12v power source from a wall outlet (plugs in to black housing next to usb power plug), but that's just gay.
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem13.jpg

ok, now we're moving back to the computer for your final steps, if you followed all of the steps accordingly, you should be ready to go now and the chip and burner are set up. go in the program and locate the 'electronic id' icon.
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem14.jpg

if you have everything set up properly, this box should pop up when you click the 'id' icon recognizing the type of chip you have in the burner, and the bottom at the bottom of the program, black text should indicate 'hardware present'.
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem15.jpg

an extra 'unneccessary' step is to then erase the chip before you try to reprogram it. i just do this out of habit, even with new chips, just for a piece of mind. the erase literally only take half a second, so don't think something is messed up if a little box pops up and goes right away, that was the chip erasing (you can also do a 'blank test' after you erase it, it's the icon with the little '?' on it located next to the 'id' icon).
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem16.jpg

now, you're ready to load the .bin file(your basemap, tune, whatever you refer to it as) that you created and saved in whatever rom editor you're using (uberdata, turbo edit, crome, etc.). just click this 'open file' icon and then browse you computer to find where you have the file saved, then double click it to load it (just like you would open a file in any other computer program).
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem17.jpg

now you should see this text at the bottom of the program after you've loaded your .bin file.
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem18.jpg

i like to double check the buffer just to make sure things look 'normal' (you'll know what the .bin file looks like after you do this a while and you can recognize by the first few lines of binary data in the buffer what program the .bin file was created in). this is just binary mumbo jumbo more or less, so, don't be like 'wtf y0, i don't see veee-tack :o'
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem19.jpg
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem20.jpg

now, go up to the top of the program (you can still be looking at the buffer page, but i went back to the 'device' tab on the bottom (front page so to speak) and click on the 'program chip' icon.
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem21.jpg

once you click that, it will take about 30 seconds for the chip to program (box like this picture, but with a red bar), and then directly after that, it will 'verify' the chip which takes about 2 seconds.
http://www.draglab.com/hmt/projekteg...o/willem22.jpg

once the chip verify is complete, you will see this text at the bottom of the program, just lift the lever and remove the chip and you're good to go!!

now where's my hand jobs :P

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

Good stuff...added to the FAQ!

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

thanks kevin. ;D

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

good ----...I just got mine in the other day for $45, plus I sold my old Batronix for $100..WOOOT!!! ;D you should see my project box I used to house the Willems...my HMT box cutting skills = scary.

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

wow, I never knew the willem was so complicated...

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

don't know about the hand jobs but do know this needs to be sticky ;D

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

It's really not that bad. I liked mine when I had it. Just went to the Burn1 because of the portable nature of it.

Great write-up kev. The world owes you one handjob for being one of the first to sit down and take the time for a write-up on this.

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

Post pics and add to the write-up!

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

i dont get it, my willem has an installer for the software and doesn't require any jumper for 29c256 chips.

perhaps cause I got the 29c256 model on ebay? they listed that and a 27c256 model?

mine just works without one.

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

I am so very glad I use a moates and use flashburn. ;D

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

damn i'm glad i got the burn1 too. That thing seems way more complicated and doesn't look portable at all...ie not good for burning chips in your car where its gonna get thrown around while street tuning :P

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

get me a write up on this piece and I'll try to find a vegas hooker to give you a hand job for $10 or less, preferably less:
http://img28.exs.cx/img28/2/dsc008420ty.th.jpg
the board says v3.1

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

Excellent write up...he does it again :bows:. I'll add thise however, I can never get my programmer to write using the "willem" setting. I have to be on the PCB3 setting. I follow the dip switch settings which is just the exact opposite of the willem setting and it works like a charm. I'll also take a picture of the wooden box i made to protect the unit.

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

props, that was a great writeup and now that i'm not completely scared of that burner, i think i'm gonna pick one up.

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

Wow, thanks projekteg! So there are different versions of this burner? I need to buy one asap. Which one do I need and where can I find it?

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

whenever i look into getting one ill probably get the willem's burner because of this awesome write up ::). oh and screen shots 0wn YoU!! :-*

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

lol, i don't know what i was thinking when i was taking pics of the screen, i guess i was just clicking away and didn't even think about print screen :P

heath- this is the one you need, if this one is ended, don't worry, that seller always has them for sale on there http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...sPageName=WDVW

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

I got ------- pwnt on my moates. if I ever get motivated I'll probably sell the moates and get one just like that ebay one. and then hit my v3.1 with a bat.

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

lol, i would trade ya, but honestly, i'd rather have my cheap, ugly, inconvenient willem than a moates any day :-\ you should see all the chips this thing supports :)

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

Ditto, but i have the expensive, not half bad looking, semi-convenient Xtronics. ---- this one can even program the DS1230y's that come in RTP kits :)

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

I like my moates, when we need to go to an unsupported chip I can go back to the willem prety easy.

yea kev, screenshots own.

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

Basically the same as my 3.1 but I don't have USB Power supply. Kinda a pain with in car tuning, but it works and bought it locally.

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

i bought my willem type programmer from www.mcumall.com for an excellent price.

but i have a question, regarding the Jumper wire, I've programmed a few hondata roms and they all worked fine without the use of the jumper wire, what is it for?

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

obviously you guys not using the jumper wire are using a different version of the software that doesn't require it (more than likely 097ja), this write up was based on the 097g software, which is what i prefer to use ;)

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

great write up. actually makes me think i am capable of burning my own chips. now all i have to do is figure out what the fuel settings in uber mean :-[. damn my vafc was so much easier :'(

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

i dont think they mean anything, they're just a given value to be modified. for reference, i've heard with 450cc injectors 10% is roughly 1 point A/F. u can change them to injector duty cycle or lambda if u want...

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

yeah but i just think it would be so much easier to understand all the numbers if i could see the results like with the vafc. so i should get a burner.
is it the lower number is leaner and the higher richer?

Re:willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

also, heres a small write-up i made for the Willem and Turboedit

http://www.green91.com/tuning.htm

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

I'm gonna bump this just cuz I was looking for it... ;D

Just out of curiosity, why do the switches look backwards? Like 1 to 12 on the board but 12 to 1 on screen?

weird.

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

Thanks for the writeup(s)! People that take the time out of their day to do writeups are O0

I ordered my Willem yesterday. Wonder how long shipping from Hong Kong will take.

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

I got mine from Hond Kong too. Someone on here said 6 days, but mine took a little longer than that.

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

OMG! Greatest post ever, I feel like I can actually attempt this now!

Thanks for your hard work!

Blaze

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

----... I finally got this working. I was using Kevins instructions and, 1) could not ID the chip and, 2) kept getting an error when I tried to burn a chip "Error: write sector 0" :-\

I'm using a newer Willem dual burner and an AT29C256 chip.

After some playing around, I figured out that I had my jumper in the wrong place (3 & 30, not 3 & 31), duuuuh. When I changed it, it didn't make a bit of difference!!! :'(

I checked the UD forums and someone suggested using the PCB3 option instead of Willem and also scrapping the jumper wire. So I did, and it works! I thought I would post this in case this something with newer burners or newer versions of the Willem software??? I tried it with the 097g & 097ja too. ja was kind of weird, so I'm gonna stick with version g. I HAVE NOT TRIED IT IN MY CAR YET, BUT WILL SOON... :-*\

By the way, the "willem" settings seem to work as well, but you have to make sure which switches are on and which are off, because on screen is backwards than the actual board.

So far, so good.

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

this brner pwns me, i have had for 3 days and cant get it to recognize the chip

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

what chip are you using? some chips can't id'd

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

AT29C256, i have 2 and tried both, same result

next week i'm going to get some sst27 chips from xenocron and see what happens with those

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

have you tried both jumpers? when i first got mine i didnt know about them and i was about to sell it because i was frustrated. asked a few detailed questions, got answers and found out its a very simple tool to use.

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

i followed this write up to the T. didnt work.


i did what 95redEX said about the PCB3 option and it worked. still no ID of the chip but it does everything else

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

27sf512's are trickier than the atmels with the willem. it's possbible you have a bad programmer, because i have never (even when i first got mine and didn't know how to use it) had a problem with the atmels.

Re: willem (enhanced/dual power) burner how to! *56k/dsl=fucked!*
 

well i got it burn them but no ID, could the burner still be bad?
