Hello all,
It's unnatural for everything to be 'plain sailing' for my endeavours. Got a question about inserting bytes of data.
Basically I'm building an alarm system.. The part in question is my control panel. I need to store 64 character labels for 16 zones and 40 individual devices (telling me about its exact location). How would I go about setting out these labels in my picaxe 40x2 program? A table? EEPROM? Can someone guide me..?! As you can see it's late and i'll have no hair left if I read any more data sheets.
I do have two 24LC512 external EEPROM chips. I don't mind starting small by using the picaxe EEPROM and expanding later. I can't figure out how to set out the data let alone use an EEPROM!! All about learning though..
