No no no, the memory is much larger, the program I wrote is probably very primitive, and large. I overran the available memory BY 408 bytes. Picaxe is good for me, because I don't know another language, and don't really have time to devote to learning. BASIC does present coding challenges, but I like the problem solving aspect presented there.
@Dennis, I'm hoping the Picaxe manuals will cover the eeprom connection, as an easy memory addition. I looked and for some reason, I have a couple 24LC256 in my "programming stuff" box, after the youngins go to bed, I'll figure out how to set this up. I should probably try to shrink my program as well... Shane On Sun, Jul 24, 2011 at 3:14 PM, Adam Jacobs <a...@jacobs.us> wrote: > Holy smokes. Are you serious?
