Hi all,
·
Besides·add in·Basic Stamp 2px module (16 x 2k Byte), is that any other way to increase/extend the EEPROM such as add other circuit chip into Basic Stamp 2 module?
·
Many Thanks!·

The BS2px has 16K of program memory divided up into 8 separate 2K byte "slots". You can have separate programs in each "slot" and the main program can run programs in other "slot"s, but there's no real subroutine call, so there's limited ability to go back and forth between "slot"s. They can be used for storage of data subject to EEPROM's write limitations. There is no way to add program storage. You can attach EEPROMs to certain I/O pins and use I2C I/O statements to read and write data in those EEPROMs.
Theoretically, you could copy a 2K program from external data storage to one of the "slot"s, then execute it, but EEPROM writing is very slow. It would take several seconds to copy a 2K program into EEPROM for execution.
May I know any recomended excternal EEPROM which is capable to use for Basic Stamp?
