Hello all,

Not sure how to word this, but I’ll do my best. When writing a number to eeprom (such as the number 15), does it get stored in the 8 bits as 00001111? If so, can you break up the low and high bytes to enter two values of numbers ranging from 0-15?

What I’m trying to do is record into eeprom two variables. Either of these numbers can have a value ranging from 0-15. As an example, I’d like to tell the chip to write 4 to the low byte side and write 5 to the high byte side. Doing so, the 8 bits would look like 01010100 (0101 for the number 5 and 0100 for the number 4). The data stored can then be read back by reading the low side, placing that value into one variable, and reading the high side and placing that value into a second variable.

I’d like to store two sets of values per memory location to double my space. Is this possible?

Thanks,
Tony
