Basic Micro Studio Syntax Manual

READ
Syntax
read address, databyte
Commands
• Address - is a byte sized variable or constant that specifi es what address to read the on-board
EEPROM from.
• DataByte - is a byte sized variable (0-255) which stores the data returned from the on-board
EEPROM.
Supported
• BA - supported
• BAN - supported
• BAP - supported
• BAP40 - supported
Description
All modules except the BasicATOM Pro 24 and BasicATOMPro ONE come with built in EEPROM.
The READ / WRITE commands were created to access the built-in memory. READ will read a single
byte from the built in EEPROM at the address specifi ed in the command.
Notes
1. The AtomPro24 does not have built in EEPROM. An external 32kbit or larger eeprom can be
added. Connect the EEPROM SCL pin to P10 and the EEPROM SDA pin to P11 with a 10K pull
up resistor. The address pins on the EEPROM (A0,A1 and A2) are tied to ground.
2. READ will only read one byte at a time. To read multiple locations a simple loop can be used or
see READDM.
Example
The example program will write the string “Hello” starting at the fi rst location to the on-board
EEPROM. Next, it will read the EEPROM locations 0 to 10 and print the contents to the terminal
window.
index var byte
char var byte
write 0,”H”
write 1,”e”
write 2,”l”
write 3,”l”
write 4,”o”
for index = 0 to 10
read index,char
serout s_out,i9600,[char]
next
