1Wire serial EEPROM, DS28EC20 and similar, any experience?

[CuriousOne]

I'm getting 16F887 for about 30 cents Ones you mentioned cost 10-20 times more

For the I2C/SPI EEPROM I already had separate topics open with code posted, but nothing happened

And 1 wire has it's own advantages - it needs 1 wire to work My current project uses TQFP-44 PIC16F887
and there is LCD screen, DS3231, TM1639, keypad, USB PD trigger and whole bunch of various hardware
attached to it, so in search for available pins, I have to do tricky things, like using piezo buzzer for alarm, and combining
that pin with LCD enable pin

Similarily, I have no issues with OTP ROM - all it has to do is contain static text strings and font data - no need to update
it ever

Oh by the way, I've implemented famous Casio VL-1 "Da da da" beeper rhythm playback with PBP, after I polish the code, will post it for public

If you create Constant (CON) strings, you can store them categorically within a CALL/GOSUB routine. Using a Line variable (Line VAR BYTE) just set that to the text line needed.

Line VAR BYTE
Language VAR BYTE
String VAR BYTE[16] 'String buffer to hold ASCII text

Main:
Line = 1 'Welcome
IF Language = 1 THEN 'English
 GOSUB Get_English
ELSEIF Language = 2 THEN 'Spanish
 GOSUB Get_Spanish
ELSEIF Language = 3 THEN 'German
 GOSUB Get_German
ENDIF

Get_English:
 SELECT CASE Line
  CASE = 1 : String = "Welcome"
  CASE = 2 : String = "Select Language"
  CASE = 3 : String = ...etc
 END SELECT
RETURN

Get_Spanish:
 SELECT CASE Line
  CASE = 1 : String = "Bienvenidos"
  CASE = 2 : String = "sel idioma"
  CASE = 3 : String = ...etc
 END SELECT
RETURN

Get_German:
 SELECT CASE Line
  CASE = 1 : String = "Willkommen"
  CASE = 2 : String = "Sprache auswählen"
  CASE = 3 : String = ...etc

This should give you the idea.
