Good catch. It only needs to be a BYTE with one EEPROM location in this app.

Hi mackrackit,
Slow but steady progress tonight. I wouldn't go so far as to say the end is in sight but things are moving along.
Now here's a question. Since I joined this FORUM in February I think it was. I've gone from not being able to blink an LED to having a working LCD in under 12 weeks, not to mention the Serial Communicator and other stuff we've done.
So here's the question: Have you ever considered writing a book for 'Newbies' like me? I'll be perfrectly honest here, determined as I am, if I hadn't found this FORUM, well I would really has struggled to move on let's put it that way.
Just a thought.

BOOK
Nope, I have though about getting an "education" so I could teach at the local college though. That would be fun.
The problem I have with books are the authors. The is a popular author out there on this subject that is even a member of this forum. Many newbies come to this forum after reading his book(s) and they still do not know much more than you did when you came here. Does the book author help out on the forum? Nope. So it seems there are books out there with out support. What good is that other than the author making money.
So I figure if someone wants to learn, skip the book and go straight to the people that really want to help others learn. For PBP that would be this forum.
Keep hanging out here on the forum, read every post and take lots of notes, when you see someone with a problem and you have an answer post it.
Then someday someone will say to you, have you ever considered writing a ......
