EEPROM writes and reads

[boroko]

Hi Alain,

I see that you have given an example of what Darrel was saying (thanks), but I don't understand why you needed to READ the data in that order. Obviously to get .lowbyte and then .highbyte,but why is that necessary?

Is that just for your application or is that something that I need to pay attention to?

Is there anything wrong with just storing it in order in the first place?

My understanding is that you cut this example out of one of your existing apps and the rest of the code doesn't necessarily apply to mine, right?

For mine, I believe that I would do the IF/THEN to check for $FFFF, and if it were blank, give it a start value.


Darrel,
Thanks for your feedback. I didn't see that I wasn't getting to the first "call DlyTime" just before main been executed.

Guys, thanks for looking at. Sometimes the finer points are the ones that are hard to catch. "codeblind" has a nice ring to it ;-}

Hi, Boroko

Here, it's on your own ... you place your variables in the order you want ... just always use the same order, not to mix them ...

YES, of course ... may be you already have noted I'm suddently a bit lazy when giving "already cooked" food ...

Alain,
Thanks for the answer. I was pretty sure that I understood it, but I still remember when I would hang on every word of advise that came from someone that I respected. I remember trying to figure out every possible meaning of a suggestion and feeling frustrated. Now, because of those memories, I try and close the loop and give a conclusion so that everyone can gain from the advise. Thank you for offering it so that we could learn.
