12f629 Eeprom

I have never used EEPROM before and am confusing the **** out of myself reading the data sheet. All I'm trying to do is save and read a couple of variables. One will range from 0-6 while th other would be a 0 or 1. If anyone has a simple code example I would really appriciate the help.

There's many ways, but assuming the PBP statements and you want to do it at run-time without having default value in the EEPROM, you need to use WRITE and READ.

Steve that was what I was trying with Write address, value. Maybe I'm confusing myself with the address. On page 49 of the data sheet it also gave a list of requirements and I was getting syntax errors. What I'm trying to do is increment a value using a button and write it to EEPROM and be able to read it.

O.K. the 12F629 have 128 bytes of EEPROM, so the address range is between 0 and 127. PBP WRITE handle the PIC address for you.

try this

Each time you'll press on the push-button attach to gpio.1, it will write to the EEPROM. Once the EEPROM is full, the LED will stay ON.

Once done, if i read the pic, the EEPROM show...

Sucessfull!

Thank you Steve. Let me see where I can go from here.

Thanks again Steve. It was the address that had me confused and your example cleared it up for me.
