erasing eeprom content

Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2005 3:48 pm

Hello all!

Kindly help me on how to erase eeprom content...

Here's my partial code..........

Code:

// Save data to internal eeprom-----------------------------------------
void save_data()
{
if (data1==0)
{
   lcd_putc("\fNo data to save...\n......Exiting");
   delay_ms(2000);
   return;
}
printf(lcd_putc,"\fSaving %lu to\ninternal memory",data1);
write_eeprom(address,make8(data1,0));
address++;
write_eeprom(address,make8(data1,1));
address++;
delay_ms(1000);
printf(lcd_putc,"\fMemory Save: %lu",data1);
delay_ms(1000);

}

// Recall data from internal eeprom--------------------------------------
void recall_data()
{
address=0;

   all_data = make16(read_eeprom(address+1),read_eeprom(address));
   delay_ms(30);

printf(lcd_putc,"\fMemory Recall:\n %lu",all_data);
delay_ms(3000);
}

// Reset data from internal eeprom--------------------------------------
void reset_data()
{
lcd_putc("\fResetting Data...");
delay_ms(500);
data1=0;
write_eeprom(address,data1);
lcd_putc("\fData reset");
delay_ms(500);
}

eeprom content will reset to zero if it's below 255 but nothing happen above 255

Your code would be better, for various reasons, if your functions used
parameter variables instead of using global variables.

Your problem is due to a misunderstanding of this function:
write_eeprom(address,data1);
The 2nd parameter, data1, is an 8-bit value. You can only write to
one byte of data eeprom each time the function is called. You're
assuming that it's a 16-bit value, and that you can erase two bytes
per function call. But you can't do that.
