Stamps only do one thing each time and after the previous task is
completed.

    hi all,

    dose antone know will the BS2 do otherthings while it is writing to
    the EEprom? or will it write then when it is done then do otherthings

    write 0,255
    write 1,100
    write 2,60000.lowbyte
    write 3,60000.highbyte
    low 0

    the "low 0" would turn of the stamp(unplug it's power). would the
    stamp write to the EEprom in time befor it shut off?

    thanks
    TC

    Hi TC,

    The write command takes about 6 milliseconds to execute. The stamp
    doesn't do anything else until each write is finished, so you should
    be safe with your auto-turnoff scheme.
