Iv'e never messed with EEPROM, but I was thinking, I should be able to store custom Characters into EEPROM and load them on command, allowing me more free program space and more than 8 custom characters. But I'm not real sure where to start.

Thinking out loud here... EEPROM uses addresses so I should be able to make a include file with a list of all characters and there mempory address, include that in my program and then load as needed? or disreguard the include file and just make a printed list? any ideas. this will teach me a little about EEPROM and more with working on custom characters. Also, how do I load the EEPROM 1 time and not each time the chip powers up? as you can see I'm not sure what I'm doing.
