    Default Array larger than 256 bytes

    Is it possible to create an array larger than 256 bytes in PBP? I'd like to use one of the newer 18F25(26)00 series chips with at least a 2K array.

    Thanks,
    Ron

    The 18F chips don't have the paging scheme (or the limitations) of the smaller parts. Array size is limited only by available RAM.

    I created a 3500 byte array in an 8720 and it compiled with no errors.

    Depending of you application but why not simply using the internal or an external EEPROM instead ?

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    Unless I use FRAM, the EEPROM is much too slow. I am streaming data in/out on an RF link at 115K baud. Thanks for the replies...
