Problem with I2C EEPROM addressing
Hello - I have a strange problem when trying to access an EEPROM at a certain address. I have a string of five 24LC256 EEPROMs all sharing the same clock and data line. On the first 4, I am storing the position of 4 servos with the position value converted to a byte-sized variable. On the last one, I am storing the state of a relay (1 or 0). The EEPROMs are addressed 000, 001, 010, 011 and 100. I have no problem reading and writing to the first 3 EEPROMs and the last one, but for some reason, I can not read or write to the 4th EEPROM (011). I have tried swapping EEPROMs around and have determined that there is something to do with that address. My code is pretty straight forward - record mode = read the positions of the 4 servos and relay convert to byte-size (servos) and store the data. Playback mode = read the data convert it to word-sized numbers (for servos) and send it out. The same code is used for all 4 servos. 1, 2 and 3 work fine, 4 just pegs out during playback. The servo #4, when under manual control, responds fine. Anyone have any idea what my problem could be? Attached is a drawing showing my EEPROM layout. I thought it might be a timing issue but why does it only affect #4 and not #5?

Here are some code snipetts:

PVal var byte
