EEPROM AND RAM

HI STEVE OR BEN

I am working on a data logging project , and I choose to work with the PIC18f4620 because of the large EEPROM MEMORY ( 1024 BYTES ) it has .

The problem is that flowcode lets you use a maximum of 256 bytes only,
Is there something that can be done to fix this problem ?

The PIC18f4620 also has 3968 bytes of RAM , any idea on how can I utilize this memory ?

Thanks in advance

Regards, Alan cilia

I've had a look this morning and I think I can provide a fix to the EEPROM component relatively quickly (i.e. the next update).

As for utilizing the RAM as a storage area, there are no plans to make this feature available yet. However, you should be able to create some simple C functions to allow access to RAM.

Steve,

Yes please do. I was looking at the chip for precisely this reason but decided not to as the I2C component could be an alternative, however, one chip rather than two is my preference.
