Hello everyone!

A thread fairly similar to the one I'm about to (hopefully) start came up a
few weeks ago, but I want to pose the same question in a more open way. So
here goes:

What is the best way to check for/detect failure of an EEPROM location when
the endurance limit is reached, and then move on to another location? My
chain of thought leads me to something like:

1. Have a pointer (in EEPROM) pointing to where the variable of interest is
repeatedly stored;
2. Store the variable a couple of times in successive locations (say three
times);
3. When reading, if all the stored values (all three in line 2) do not
agree, use the value given by the majority;
4. Once all three positions do not agree, move on to three new locations and
update the pointer.

At first I considered not mentioning this chain of thought so as not to
influence anyone elses ideas, but did so since I would like comments on it.
So if you have a different/better idea, please mention it!

Thanks,
 Roland
