write array to 24lc256
PostPosted: Sat Mar 04, 2006 2:36 pm     Reply with quote
hi i am trying to write an array with 4 elements each holding an int16 value to a 24lc256. i have managed to get the eeprom connected to the pic 16f877 and am able to write and read an int value using the ccs 24256.c driver. can anyone point me in the right direction to solving this problem as i am a bit stuck.

many thanks for any help given
Mark

Think about your array as being 8 int8's. That's nothing more than 8 single byte writes.

If you really need int16 then you should work with shifting...

Let me explain:

Code:
        Write_Ext_Eeprom(5, h>>8); //  Write 1. Byte of variable "h"(declared as long or int16) to EEPROM position 5
        Write_Ext_Eeprom(6, h);    //  Write 2. Byte of variable "h"(declared as long or int16) to EEPROM position 6


As you can see, the first instruction will shift the MSB of "h" to the LSB of "h":

Let�s suppose that the value of "h" is:
Code:

      MSB        LSB
h = 10101010 00000000


then it will be after shifting (h>>8):

Code:

      MSB        LSB
h = 00000000 10101010


Now the write instruction (it is a 8bit write instruction) will handle yust the LSB of "h". So if you write it now into the EEPROM yust the LSB will be saved !

Thats all ! Now YOU have to combine it with some other code to handle 4 variables of type int16 !

Also look at the make8() function in the CCS manual. It provides an
easy way to extract the desired byte from an int16 or int32 variable.
It's provided for this purpose.
