Hi there,
I am very new here and am teaching myself about picaxes from scratch and have never used any programmable micro controller. I have done lots of searching to avoid covering already answered questions but the main problem is that i don't know what anything is called to know what to search for. So i apologise for asking such a simple question ( i probably sound really thick asking it).
Basically i have made a flow chart with logicator and it works well. However i need some pre filled values to be stored in the eeprom to enable some of the variables to be loaded up with certain numbers used as part of the decision process, I can seem to find no way of typing in the numbers to be written to the memory location when the chip is programmed. The manual and help documents don't seem to cover this at all, unless i missed it. I assumed it would be as simple as having the eeprom table open as you do when running the flowchart and double clicking on the memory location and typing in your number between 0 and 255 and that would set the memory to be downloaded when the chip is programmed and it would also be able to use these figures to check the function of the sheet.
Am i missing something? The eeprom table wont let me double click on it and indeed it seems greyed out. I have a registered version of logicator that i paid for.
I am doing a work around for one off testing by putting in a smalll subroutine prog to increment the eeprom until it gets to the number i want then i stop it and run the main program however it always resets to 0 on restart and it won't help when i come to want to write these eeprom values to the chip.
Any ideas?
