    Default read/write eeprom

    First give credit to Peter Olsen who wrote these programs for a picaxe. I'm trying to convert using a 12F683 to write to a 24LC256 and read back from it. The Angel file downloads file to 24lc256 from PC. Newtoyshop is suppose to read from the 24lc256 and output to 2 74hc595's. When I write to eeprom then read back I get jumbled up mess. The Angel file runs in power basic.

    In my opinion..
    You would be better off not wasting time trying to convert a program that may or may not have worked for another platform.

    You know what you want the program to do?
    Write from scratch. In PBP...

    It did work on a picaxe. I'm trying to write it in PBP with the other program as a reference, being new at this having a heck of a time. Not giving up.

    Not giving up is good!

    To learn how to work with external eeproms try the I2C sample here
    http://www.melabs.com/resources/samples.htm

    Or wait till someone comes along that knows picaxe...

    and this may help with the 595s.

    Put something together in PBP and we will help you debug it.

    Tray adding the following two defines:

    DEFINE I2C_SLOW 1
    DEFINE I2C_HOLD 1

    DOH!!!

    My apologies...
    The way I read the first post I did not think you had any code of your own.

    And I hate opening attachments...

    Use code tags in the future.

    I'll try the Defines and whenever I use code tags the code jumbles up or leaves stuff out, tried this a couple times on other questions and it left parts of the code out.

    The Defines worked!!! Couple other little changes and I believe it works, except for when I download from PC it just hangs. Cycle power and all takes off and works fine. Seems to get stuck in interrupt. Here's the code now trying Joe S. method.

    I am thinking it is looping @ nexstep maybe it is not seeing $FF as there is no way out of the loop until it does = $FF

    How many bytes you need to tx?

    This piece of code is not working properly, since the delay due to the instructions to be executed plus the pause will surely make you loose Tx data.

    Code:
    NEXTSTEP: 
        debugin[#b1,#b2]                         'Read input
        i2cwrite dapin,clpin,cont,addr,[b1,b2]   'Store in eeprom
        pause 10                                 'Wait between writes
        addr=addr+2                              'Next eeprom loc
        if b2 <> $FF then nextstep             'FF means end of data 
    Think about to tx the whole packet in one go using array.

    Replace pause 600 with For A0=1 to 120 :Pause 5:Next A0

    I'm sending a varible amount of bytes, so far have lost none. The pause 600 is up where I read from eeprom. There's a pause 10 in interrupt routine to give time to write to eeprom. Everything works but doesn't seem to want to exit interrupt routine.

    Everything works but doesn't seem to want to exit interrupt routine.
    Because you have a problem with the timing in serial TX/RX.(as mentioned in post#14)

    Use a timeout to exit from DEBUGIN because you get stack there.

    Shouldn't it exit when b2=$FF? I send a $FF at the end of all the data I want sent.
    if b2 <> $FF then nextstep 'FF means end of data
    That's the way I understand, but I've been wrong alot of times.(As my wife says) If not I'll sure put in a timeout. Thanks.

    Put in the timeout and works perfectly. Thanks to all that helped.
