Re: read/write EEPROM on 18F8520

A little more info about writing the EEPROM - it takes time. To write one byte takes about 4 ms. Since the loop time is 26 ms (or 17 on the EDU-RC), if you try to write a few bytes at once, you use up more than all of the time. Even worse, if you don't wait for the write to finish, only the first write will work.

I am working on some code to keep a small queue of bytes to write that will wait for each to write before writing the next. Will post when I think it's working. Anybody else have thoughts on how best to manage this issue?

Bill
