Data logger and 24LC512

Hi,

Our local dealer (A4) provided us with an AXE111 and two 24LC512 chips.

In the AXE110 data logger wizard (latest version of Picaxe editor), there is no 24LC512 option.

I guess we will have to edit the generated code to modify the slave address. Is it planned in the future?

Just to be sure that someone connect correctly the memory expansion board to the data logger, I suggest adding a picture displaying both boards connected on the data sheet.

You could just probably just use the 256 setting, although half of each chip's memory would remain unused.

We've never promoted the 512 for this product, but in theory there is no reason why we could not update the wizard to support it.

The address as a word would not give the entire access of the 64K chip?

Checking the generated code, I am puzzled by the 10 value :
Code:
; ***********************************
; ***** Check If Memory Is Full *****
; ***********************************

check_if_full:
        if address >= 10 then memory_is_full
        return

The current 256 wizard would move onto the next chip when only half of the 512 had been used, as it is expecting a 256. However that could be changed.

You probably only selected 10 readings in the drop down list?
