If your code returns an error code, this is what it means.

| Error code | Meaning | Full description | | --- | --- | | 0x00 | Success | Function executed successfully | | 0x01 | Call begin() | *constructor_of_choice*.begin() was not called in void setup() | | 0x02 | Unknown chip | Unable to identify chip. Are you sure this chip is supported? The library will print out the information it has been able to obtain from the chip to Serial. | | 0x03 | Unknown capacity| Unable to identify capacity. Is this chip officially supported? If not, please define a CAPACITY constant and include it in *constructor_of_choice*.begin(CAPACITY). | | 0x04 | Chip is busy | Chip is busy. Make sure all pins have been connected properly | | 0x05 | Out of bounds | Page overflow has been disabled and the address called exceeds the memory | | 0x06 | Can't enable write | Unable to Enable Writing to chip. Please make sure the HOLD & WRITEPROTECT pins (if broken out on the chip) are pulled up to VCC or pulled down to GND - as required by the datasheet. | | 0x07 | Address previously written to | This sector already contains data. Please make sure the sectors being written to are erased. | | 0x08 | Low RAM | You are running low on SRAM. Please optimise your program for better RAM usage | | 0x09 | Unable to Suspend/Resume | Unable to suspend/resume operation | | 0x0A | Error check has failed | Write Function has failed errorcheck. | | 0x0B | No response from chip | Check your wiring. Flash chip is non-responsive. | | 0x0C | Function not supported by chip | This function is not supported by the flash memory hardware. | | 0x0D | Enabling 4-byte addressing failed | Unable to enable 4-byte addressing. | | 0x0E | Disabling 4-byte addressing failed | Unable to disable 4-byte addressing. | | 0x0F | Chip is powered down | The Flash chip is currently powered down. | | 0xFE | Unknown | Unknown error |
