Reading/writing arrays from eeprom to variables to lcdout

[DDDvvv]

Hi fellas. another salvo of questions if i may;

how do you write an array of 15 bytes onto eeprom memory? is there any other way other than the "for.....next" command?

is it possible to read this same array, and load it onto an lcd with a "lcdout" statement?

im trying to create an array of ascii characters that a user can change, to change the name of a menu item

thanks for reading.

That depends if you need to change it during run time, or just set it at compile time.

If you want to change it during the running of the program you need a for..next and use the WRITE command. To set it at compile time you can just use the DATA command:

DATA @0,"s","t","r","i","n","g"," ","o","f"," ","a","s","c","i","i"


is it possible to read this same array, and load it onto an lcd with a "lcdout" statement?

Yes, with another for..next:


for address=0 to 14
READ address,asciichar
LCDOUT asciichar
next address

thanks for the reply. i need to write at program time and to change the name at runtime.


for address=0 to 14
READ address,asciichar
LCDOUT asciichar
next address


is the variable "asciichar" an array, or just a single byte?

i was browsing around the forum and came across this line of code:


lcdout str variable\15

is this possible? and what about arrayread and arraywrite?

And LCDOUT uses the same syntax as SEROUT2, check it out in the manual.
