Beginner trying to use arrays

[DynamoBen]

Okay so you're hoping to store these parameters in EEProm as a table to recall later.

Then an array is not what you need. You need the following commands DATA, and READ. Take a look at each in the manual.

Basically you're going to use DATA to create the table in EEPROM. Then READ to read info from eeprom into variables. Everything is one byte at a time for the most part.

Thanks for the info. Data refers me to WRITECODE due to the fact that I want to have it written realtime. The end result will have the end user enter enter the desired times via PC software. Any further info on either WRITE CODE or the PC interface would be apreciated.

Don't use writecode. The manual is very specific about writecode using program space for storage not EEProm. WRITE is used to store information to EEPROM. Best bet is to consult your manual and experiment. The forum can help but you have to have a fairly specific questions.

Enjoy.

To use arrays, first you have to declare the array variable

Sample VAR BYTE[16]
X VAR BYTE

then if you want to write this array to eeprom you have to write one part (Byte) of the array at a time I do it with a FOR/NEXT loop

FOR X = 0 to 15
WRITE X, Sample[X]
NEXT X

and to read it back to the array do the same but use READ

FOR X = 0 to 15
READ X, Sample[X]
NEXT X

And to print the array on LCD

LCDOUT $fe, 1, STR Sample\16

And to send it with SEROUT you have to send the bytes one by one

SEROUT PORTA.7,T9600, [Sample[0],Sample[1],Sample[2],Sample[3],Sample[4],Sample[5],Sample[6],Sample[7],Sample[8],Sample[9],Sample[10],Sample[11],Sample[12],Sample[13],Sample[14],Sample[15]]
