Using on-chip EEPROM (DATA) memory like serial memory - possible?

[Darrel Taylor]

Hmmm, bitwise EEPROM,

How bout ...

EEPROM 0,[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0] ; Just some data to work with

TheBit  VAR WORD  ; (256*8 = 2047 max)

TheByte VAR BYTE
BitMask VAR BYTE
Result  VAR BYTE

TheBit = 42
GOSUB GetEEbit
; Result = 1 (bit 2 of byte 5)
STOP

GetEEbit:
    TheByte = TheBit / 8
    BitMask = DCD (TheBit // 8)
    READ TheByte, Result
    Result = Result & BitMask
    if Result then Result = 1
RETURN

Hello Darrel,

Thanks a lot. It works absolutely perfect and it is just "upseting" me since this solution seems now so obvious; I have almost shame I have asked...

Again (for me), it is a math problem; nothing to do with possible or not.

Time to go back to my PC & breadboard and finish this project...

Thank you very much.

What about that post from Melanie awhile back about accessing variable arrays by the bits...

It just might be even easier for you to use one of these methods

EDIT TO THE EDIT-ee (which is me) --> WHOOPS! I just saw that you've already seen that one! My bad...

Excellent!

It's always easy when the answers right in front of you.
It's before then, that's the problem.

No sweat.
