A discussion group for the PICMicro microcontroller. Also called the Microchip PIC, this list is dedicated to the use and abuse of this fine, simple, microcontroller. Close to topic posts are welcome, ie. general electronics.

Hi
I need to store the value in eeprom . I m using PIC 16f877 C Microchip . I dont know
which is the starting address of eeprom .
i need to store the the time how long my machine run at the customer place .It is
possible to store that much data can store .
thx

Hi,
It is h'0', and goes up to h'FF'. Look on the data sheet
on www.microchip.com for more info.
It is possible to store the data, i would write the
program so it stores seconds(maybe?), minutes, hours, days, years(maybe?) as
seperate addresses. But thinking about it, you would run into problems with the days as
you can only to 255 with the pic (8 bit system), so would need somet thinking about! Also
leap years, but that is probably going to far!
Actually, you have given me an idea! :-) I might put
something like that in my programme for a new control system i am working on!
Cheers!
Paul

Ramesh On the 16F series it begins at 0x2100 on the 18F series 0xF00000 There is 256bytes of EEPROM if this gets filled up you'll need to code in a rotating address. There is also an approximate 100,000 write cycles before the EEPROM starts to fail. Colin On Tue, 29 Jul 2003 05:36:24 -0700 (PDT), R Ramesh wrote: ::I need to store the value in eeprom .
