Ok im using a 24lc32 eeprom conencted to porta. So far there is no code to rese t the chip to address 0000, but when reading sequentially from the chip on start up ofthe pic everything works fine the FIRST time. if u reset the pick it no l onger works...i would assume that this is because the eeprom is still holding th e previous address accessed and wont forget that address until it is set to a di fferent one or power is removed?? So, we tried shutting off the power and flickin it back on...This also did not w ork. about 10 minutes later..flicked the power back on and the damn thing worke d as its supposed to. REmove power, wait 30 seconds apply power again, NOTHING. . why is this? there are no caps on the board saving any charge, its built on a bread board.. miKE (who else...BTW, happy thanksgiving) Send someone a cool Dynamitemail flashcard greeting!! And get rewarded. GO AHEAD! http://cards.dynamitemail.com/index.php3?rid=fc-41
