    That's the area where all the variables are placed.

    Theoretically, you can read or write to RAM every microsecond until the end of time (or the end of the chip, which ever comes first).

    The Flash area is where the program is stored. And the EEPROM is just a place to store periodically changing values that retain their data when power is removed.

    RAM loses it's data when power is removed.

    hth,

    Thanks DT.

    In that case, when we use WRITECODE command, are we using up flash life?

    Our friend did not mention losing data.
    Thus, I wanted to add something for his consideration.
