Re: Writing to Files

Is this any faster than EEPROM, and can it handle writing twice during each user_routine loop? Also can/ how do we do this with this compiler? If we cant, any other (simpler) suggestions? Thanks
Like Rickertsen said, there are no files on the robot controller, because there is no filesystem. EEPROM or FLASH are your only options for storing data when the RC is off. Both are fairly slow and both only allow a finite number of writes to a particular section, so you should not be writing to them every loop or anything like that. If you need to store off some data, you should probably only do it when a button is pushed by the driver or something.
