Bs2p24 ram?

I can hardly wait for the BS2P24 to get released. I plan to use it on my
balloon project. The ability to do one-wire sounds great, and I'd like to
send a one-wire up weather station up into the stratosphere. Has Parallax
said how much RAM is set aside for variables? They don't talk about it yet
on their webpage.

    Hi Paul -

    I suspect it's in the Version 2 manual, which is posted on the Parallax
    website.

    The variable space is the same as with the BS2sx. ·The scratchpad RAM,
    however, has doubled to 128 bytes.

    There's one other neat thing about the BS2p -- it has a STORE command that
    lets you specify the program slot for EEPROM storage and retrieval with WRITE
    and READ. ·With a bit of code, you can now treat all unused program slots as
    flat EE space for storage.
