PIC12F683 and EEPROM

Hi everyone,

I have a PIC12F683 which communicates via serin/serout and I want it to be able to store an 8 digit number into eeprom. I have searched and searched and I can't find any basic examples on how I can read write something like for example "47364837" sent over serial port to eeprom. Can anyone point me in the right direction please. Just thought it would be a fun project to help me learn :)

Thanks,
Ross

Edit: I probably should have put this under Picbasc Pro forum - doh. My brain is fried from googling this issue. Sorry

Ok figured out the EEPROM thing kind of - works fine when working with a single digit :) Just need to know how I can store a string of numbers and then return it on demand. Code so far:

Code:

---

Include "modedefs.bas"

OSCCON = %01100000      'set for 4mhz internal
CMCON0 = 7              'TURN COMPARITORS OFF
ANSEL  = %00000000      'Set A/D OFF
ADCON0 = %00000000      'Analog converter OFF
TRISIO = %00000000        'Set GSIO 4 and 2 to INPUT, others to OUTPUT

tcx var GPIO.0 'output pin
rcx var GPIO.1 'input pin
led VAR GPIO.5
cmd VAR byte
x  VAR BYTE       

Main:
serin rcx,n2400,cmd
 If cmd = "0" THEN GOTO SetNum
 If cmd = "1" THEN GOTO RetNum
GOTO Main

setNum:
serin rcx,n2400,x
WRITE 2, x
GOTO Main

RetNum:
READ 2, x
SEROUT tcx,n2400,[x]
goto main

I know there are more elegent ways of doing this but as a starting point to learn I would suggest this:
Each byte received needs to have somewhere to go like the first character you did so make some more variables for the rest.

Code:

---

X0 VAR BYTE
....
X7 VAR BYTE

setnum:
SERIN rcx,n2400,X0,X1,X2,X3,X4,X5,X6,X7
WRITE 2, X0  ' Remember this takes some time, about 10ms ea
WRITE 3, X1
...
WRITE 9, X7
GOTO main

RetNum:
READ 2, X0
READ 3, X1
...
READ 9, X7
SEROUT tcx,n2400,[x0,X1,X2,X3,X4,X5,X6,X7]
goto main.

I haven't tested this but I hope you get the idea.
