SX microcontrollers capacity.

Joe

Hi,

Only to know if I can use more variables and a larger rutines
than a Basic Stamp 2PE using SX-28 or SX-48 microcontrollers.

Of course always in BASIC language ( not assemb.)
( Using the S-Key V3.2)



Thanks, Joe
Ps: I understand that Stamps have more literature at Parallax
but I need more capacity than the BS2Pe and I will lost same time
if I try to undestand a second lenguage like the SPIN for the Propeller .

Joe,
The BS2pe has 26 bytes for variables + 128 scratchpad bytes and 8 x 2K for programs.
The SX28 has 19 bytes for variables + 104 for arrays and 1 x 2K for programs.
The SX48 has 17 bytes for variables + 223 for arrays and 1 x 4K for programs.

The main thing the SX gets you is incredible speed.

Bean.

Thanks.

But could I increase the variables of the SX28 or SX48 ?


Thanks, Joe

Bean

In many cases you can use array with a single element instead of a byte variable.

Do you need more than the array space ?

How many bytes do you need ?

Bean,

EE/Flash Program memory = "1 X 2K" (SX28) and "1 X 4K" (SX48)?

Aren't they 12 bits X 2048 [noparse][[/noparse]or 2K] and X 4096 [noparse][[/noparse]or 4K]; that is, 2048 12-bit Words and 4096 12-bit Words, respectively?

I've been tripped up sometimes when they go calling memory by "bits" when·it's bytes that most everyone reckons.
