Hi
I've got a project on and it will be needing to store data in the eeprom.
What i need to do is store X and Y data in a memory locations so it can be read back in different orders. EG get data from point 17, X=105, Y=236.
I would like to store the information in order EG point 1 to 255. What would the code to undertake this be??
I haven't done a lot with Arrays and EEproms. Is this the best way to achieve this??
Thanks

Snow

This is what I've got which works. Is this the recommended way to do this??

Code:

'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'name                     : EEPROM_Testing.bas
'purpose                  : Writing and reading to EEPROM
'micro                    : Mega48
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$regfile = "m48def.dat"                                     ' specify the used micro
$crystal = 8000000                                          ' used crystal frequency
$baud = 19200                                               ' use baud rate
$hwstack = 32                                               ' default use 32 for the hardware stack
$swstack = 10                                               ' default use 10 for the SW stack
$framesize = 40                                             ' default use 40 for the frame space

Declare sub StorePosition(W_Point as byte,PosX as integer ,PosY as integer)
Declare sub ReadPosition (R_Point as byte)


Dim X as integer
Dim Y as integer
Dim Point as byte



'---Main---
X=0
Y=100


For Point = 1 to 10                           'Store 10 lots of data into the EEPROM
   X=X+1
   Y=Y+1
   Call StorePosition(Point,X,Y)
Next Point

For Point = 1 to 10                           'Read the 10 lots of data back from the EEPROM
   Call ReadPosition(Point)
   Print "X:";X; " Y:";Y
Next Point

End

'-----------------------------------------------------------


Sub StorePosition(w_Point as byte,posX as integer ,PosY as integer)
Local eeprom_position as byte

   eeprom_position = w_Point * 4                ' Each stored position uses 4 bytes of data
   eeprom_position=eeprom_position-3            ' Don't use EEPROM location 0 as per instructions. This is not realy needed just wastes the first 3 memory
                                                ' locations of the EEPROM if not used

   Writeeeprom posX , eeprom_position           'Use a variable as the pointer to eeprom location
   Incr eeprom_position                         'Skip one byte as the stored data is an integer (2 bytes)
   Incr eeprom_position
   Writeeeprom PosY , eeprom_position         'Use a variable as the pointer to eeprom location

End Sub


Sub ReadPosition (r_Point as byte)
   Local eeprom_position as byte

   eeprom_position = r_Point * 4
   eeprom_position=eeprom_position-3        ' Set the start read point in eerom

   Readeeprom X , eeprom_position         ' Use a variable as the pointer to eeprom location
   Incr eeprom_position                    ' Skip one byte as the stored data is an integer (2 bytes)
   Incr eeprom_position
   Readeeprom Y , eeprom_position         ' Use a variable as the pointer to eeprom location

End sub

I think this can be much easier with ERAM and OVERLAY for some four byte variable.
Code:
$regfile = "m48def.dat"                                     '4KB FLASH, 1KB SRAM, 256B EEPROM
$crystal = 8000000
$baud = 19200
$hwstack = 32
$swstack = 10
$framesize = 40
$sim

'256B/4=64 max cell for four bytes

 Dim Myeeprom(64) As Eram Long
 Dim Mytype As Long
 Dim Myx As Integer At Mytype Overlay
 Dim Myy As Integer At Mytype + 2 Overlay
 Dim N As Byte

 'test write
 For N = 1 To 64
  Myx = N
  Myy = N
  Myeeprom(n) = Mytype
 Next


 'test read back
 For N = 1 To 64
  Mytype = Myeeprom(n)
  Print "X=" ; Myx ; " Y=" ; Myy
 Next

 End

Thanks for your input. That makes the code a lot shorter.

One question

Quote:

Dim Myx As Integer At Mytype Overlay


Where does the MyType get the address value assigned? When this is sim'd up and the code line 'Myeeprom(n) = Mytype ' is executed
MyType is loaded with the value 65537. Where does this value come from for the overlay address at the start of the EEprom?

Thanks
Snow

I dont know if I understand your question but value you present is quite expected Very Happy
Value 65537 DEC is 00_01_00_01 HEX. Two times for our Myx=1 and Myy=1. Value of Mytype dont mather cause we watch for two bytes in our order.
I dont know how Bascom handles those adressess for Me but it does Very Happy and I know I can do this that way.

I can gues that for Myx=2 and Myy=2 value of Mytype will be 131 074 Very Happy
