Is it possible to create an array larger than 256 bytes in PBP? I'd like to use one of the newer 18F25(26)00 series chips with at least a 2K array.

Thanks,
Ron

The 18F chips don't have the paging scheme (or the limitations) of the smaller parts. Array size is limited only by available RAM.

I created a 3500 byte array in an 8720 and it compiled with no errors.

Depending of you application but why not simply using the internal or an external EEPROM instead ?

Unless I use FRAM, the EEPROM is much too slow. I am streaming data in/out on an RF link at 115K baud. Thanks for the replies...
