Also ? about write_bank
PostPosted: Wed Nov 14, 2001 4:37 pm     Reply with quote

If you write a value to ram using the write_bank function from a function outside of main():

a) Is that value preserved by the PIC, or can it be overwritten?

ie:

main()
{
write_funtion(); //Will this print 65
)

void write_funtion()
{
write_bank(3,0,0x65);
printf("\%u",read_function());
}

void read_function()
{
int hex_sixty_five;
hex_sixty_five = read_bank(3,0);
return hex_sixty_five;
)

b) Does this save RAM because it seems to not increase my RAM usage if I use it instead of an array?

Local variables are not perserved between function calls but your not talking about variables your talking about RAM locations. I would guess that your RAM usage report is based on RAM assigned to variables and does not account for directly addressed RAM.
