Hello everybody,
I have a counter to count the number of turns. For this I need to memorize the number of turns and exceed the number 255. How can I memorize the number 300 or 1000?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Samtim,

You just need to save a 16 bit number - so first byte as (or Value >> 8 )and second byte as (Note for the second byte you can just use as it will be 'truncated' to 8 bits or both of which are quicker than the modulus calculation..

Hello everybody,
A flowchart with an example would help me. I tried something, but I don't know if it's okay. Thanks Martin for the answer. Attach a flowchart.

Hi samtin,
Following this post
Attached is how I would achieve what you are after.

Note:
As EEPROM has 1,000,000 erase/write cycles, it best to write to it as infrequent as possible.

Hi Martin,
I understand better now. Thank you very much Martin. I attach a flowchart, if you want to look a little.

Hello everybody,
It works very well, thanks to Martin alias "medelec35", thanks to Martin alias "mnf".

Hi samtin,
Your welcome.
Glad us martin's has helped.

Calculation box can be deleted.
I was going to use it but changed my mind.
Was in a rush for dinner so deleting it slipped my mind.
The Calculation box with can also be deleted as was for testing only.
Although I would strongly recommend either use the calculation box to assign an initial value.
Alternatively, delete the as suggested.
Edit value variable, then assign an initial value: Reason for this is in Flowcode simulator, variables start of with an initial value of 0.
On your hardware, it will be some random value.
General rule of thumb:
If a variable is read first then it must have an initial value assigned.
If a variable is wrote first then an initial value is not required.

Hi Mr. Martin,
Thank you very much, Mr. Martin. Any answer from you on the forum is for me a lesson and a book page for what Flowcode means.

All the best!
