Yes I use the embedded strings as part of my Logo Display. Works great BTW.

I also tried the custom approach and built a HyperTerm interface to an 24LC128 EEPROM, but the problem is viewing all the lines at once or editing a single entry. I will look at your Hex Workshop.
Thanks for the info
David

An then, depending your EEPROM you really just need I2CREAD/SHIFTIN then a LCDOUT.

That's one method, you can also use the following method using the code space.

And there's a load of different version of it in this forum to.
