I'm using it to store p1_x values that a gyro calculated to make it go strait. Then next time I hit forward on the joystick it would start off with the calculated p1_x value instead of default 127. This (hopefully) will eliminate any beggining turning while the gyro is building up error.
As far as I can tell it would make no difference then b/c the program memory is also an EEPROM (or similar, can't remember) except the storing is auto handled instead of doing it manually using the user EEPROM where you can make errors.
