WRITE problems

Justin - FLC

I have had problems with the write command.· I write to the eeproms and the numbers I get back do not correlate to the numbers I input.· Sometimes I get back 0, 513, (513 + 257), ... It seems as though there is a data type problem b/c of the addition of 257 to the previous index.· Do you notice any errors in my READ/WRITE coding?

Also, as the code sits it is too big.· Do you have any consolodation ideas?

Please let me know if the code did not get attached correctly.

EXAMPLE


The following Code returns the number 11051 when the number 555 was expected:

i VAR Word
x VAR Word

Reset1 DATA 0
Records DATA (700)
RecordsEnd DATA

FOR i = 0 TO 200
WRITE i, Word 555
DEBUG "k "
NEXT

FOR i = 0 TO 200
READ i, Word x
DEBUG DEC x, CR
NEXT

I am not sure when to use the DATA either.

Your problem is that you're writing 16-bit words consisting of two 8-bit bytes at byte addresses that overlap. Try "for i = 0 to 198 step 2"
