problem with IOShield_EEPROM_Demo on chipkit

[andy@npl]

Hello,

 

 I have a ChipKit Uno rev C with Basic I/O board. I am using MPIDE 20140821. I’m having problems running the  IOShield_EEPROM_Demo.

 

I have installed the necessary ChipKit I/O drivers. I have ensured JP6 and 8 are configured correctly on the uno board.

The program crashes when reaches the line : IOShieldEEPROM.writeString(0,"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ");

 

 

 

I have read about this problem on ChipKit online forum, but it does not appear to have been resolved.

 

 

 

Would anyone please help. :-)

 

 

 

Many thanks

 

 

 

Andy

Hi Andy,

I looked at the reported issue on the chipKIT forum and found that it was an issue with the way I2C was set up on that particular build of MPIDE. I have both an older version and a newer version of MPIDE and the eeprom demo works exactly as expected.

You can download a newer version of MPIDE appropriate for your computer from this list here.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
JColvin
