EEPROM problems

[elsey.jack]

Hello all, quick question here.

Why doesn't this code work? When I try to compile it the programming editor tells me that there is a sytnax error in the EEPROM line. I've scoured what the manual has to say about EEPROM but I still don't know what is wrong.

Any ideas?

main:
	b2 = 48
	b3 = 48
	b4 = 48
	
	EEPROM 6 ,(b2, b3, b4)

end

EEPROM command only accepts constants. It says it in the manual.

See manual 2, page 5.

"Constants are ‘fixed’ numbers that are used within the program..."

You are trying to use variables. Not the same thing. Won't work.

EEPROM is a complier directive that is only actioned at the time the program is downloaded into the PICAXE.

So the line EEPROM 6 ,(b2, b3, b4) is actioned but the avriables are bnot yeta ssigned so you only load zero's

use the WRITE command instead to load values from variables within the runing program

or put the values directly into the EEPROM statement

Ah. I see.

Thanks for the help!
