Power-down at the bad time = WRITE

[Charles Linquis]

If you have data that absolutely cannot be corrupted, then write the data twice in two different blocks. Write a checksum as the last byte of each block.
On power up, read the blocks and recalculate the checksums. Use the first one that matches.

would it be easier to use

WRITE X,VAR.BYTE1
WRITE Y,VAR.BYTE0

(I know, not the question lol)

what checksum algorithm did you recomend ?



...day by day i have to go deeper and deeper...and just for one countdown timer ... i love that

[Charles Linquis]

For something simple, I generally start with something like $AA or $55 and add every byte to that. Fast and (relatively) foolproof.
