writing word variables to data memory

[malc-c]

Robert, thanks for the input, and yes I agree that it needs tidying up. I've already moved Alain's code down by 10 (ie first line starts at 70, the second 90 etc as I thought that I might be getting close to over-writing data at the 150 location.

Guys, I appreciate the time and trouble you have gone to... sorry that it seemed an uphill struggle - it must be the medication I'm on (that's my story and I'm sticking to it )

Hi, Malc you also can optimize memory use a bit not to hit location 150 ... see: 80 = $ 50 ... as you need 16 locations per fn value ... locations $50 ...$5F for fn = 1 ............ $60 ...$6F for fn = 2 ... ... .............$80 ... $8F for fn = 4 ... $8F = 143 ... it makes it !!! so, simply change locations to:

write  $50,lightsetHR[1]),lightsetMN[1],lightoffHR[1],lightoffMN[1],word droptemp[1] ,word normtemp[1],StartMin[1],StopHour[1],StopMin[1],word alarmhigh[1],StartHour[1],word alarmlow[1] ; need 16 locations
 
 write  $60,lightsetHR[2]),lightsetMN[2],lightoffHR[2],lightoffMN[2],word droptemp[2] ,word normtemp[2],StartMin[2],StopHour[2],StopMin[2],word alarmhigh[2],StartHour[2],word alarmlow[2]
 
 write  $70,lightsetHR[3]),lightsetMN[3],lightoffHR[3],lightoffMN[3],word droptemp[3] ,word normtemp[3],StartMin[3],StopHour[3],StopMin[3],word alarmhigh[3],StartHour[3],word alarmlow[3]
 
 write  $80,lightsetHR[4]),lightsetMN[4],lightoffHR[4],lightoffMN[4],word droptemp[4] ,word normtemp[4],StartMin[4],StopHour[4],StopMin[4],word alarmhigh[4],StartHour[4],word alarmlow[4]

and moreover, you'll see your values nicely ordered into your EEPROM Watch Window ... Have a nice day Alain PS: sorry , but there's a forum bug with " carriage return ", it seems ...
