confuse page write??

[MINHLE]

many thanks Aratti

how about the page boundary 256 bytes is this located in the pic?
if so, when i use LOOKUP, the boundary is 256 bytes

LOOKUP I, [1st.......255th], BUFFER ;( i go 0 to 255)

I = 0 to 255
K = 1 TO 4 ; loop for 4 pages
IF I = K*63 THEN ; loop for 1 page of writing
I2CWRITE ...... I, [STR BUFFER\64]
PAUSE 15
( i preload data into LOOKUP then write them on the External eeprom

I confuse BUFFER in the LOOKUP it should be BUFFER[1000] for example ?
thanks again,
Minh LE

Hi MINHLE, I have to admit that I did understand what you are trying to do!

You should not worry PBP will take care of the pic internal page boundary.

The code you have posted for tranferring 256 byte from your lookup table to the serial eeprom will not work. Here a working snippet:

AA      var Word
KK      var Byte
II       var Byte
Buffer Var Byte [64]

For KK = 0 to 192 step 64

For II = 0 to 63

AA = II + KK

Lookup AA,[1st.......255th], Buffer[II]

Next II

AA = AA - 63

I2CWRITE DataPin, ClockPin, Control, AA, [Str Buffer\64]

Next KK

Thanks a lot Aratti,


I see clearly now,

the data loaded into a pic is limited. in case of the volume of external Eeprom is bigger than that of internal eeprom? but i do not have a eeprom programmer


thanks a gain Aratti,

Hello Aratti,
thanks a lot for your help,
i realize that i should not have to use an external eeprom. the pic 16f877a containes an 8k bytes, a lot of space to be written on. the problem now is how to write data on these pages (FLASH MEMORY), use DATA , EEPROM or other PBP commands; or copy the code from data sheet?

but,,, not sure i understand all.

Be carefull because 8Kb are code space ram. Available eeprom is 256 bytes ( see table attached)

Read PEEKCODE and POKECODE commands @ pag 113 & 115 of PBP manual.

thanks a lot Aratti,

i see now, and will try it later,
