Can anyone point me to a decent tut for adding EEPROm to a pic?

I might need a couple MBs

thx
 
Well have'nt figure that out.

Basically I am sampling music notes played on an instrument....determining the note (eg A B C..) and then storing it with a timestamp in Eprom to be read back out via serial over usb later.

I may need a dspic I am not sure.

What do u think?
 
EEPROM does have a 10mS delay which is significant at audio frequencies.The SDcard runs off the spi i/o not so?

Can I xmit data faster than 10mS per byte to SDcard?
 
With EEPROM you can write a minimum of 128 bytes every 5mS = 25k/s. SD card vary from 2M/s up to 10M/s.

Edit, an alternative might be Serial Flash that can write a byte in 7uS.

Or, if you just want a guitar tuner and have an Android phone, install the free app called gstrings. Works wonderfully, I now just need to practice the guitar more.

EPE magazine did just that a few years ago, using a low cost PIC 16C84 as a guitar tuner in 1997 - there's no need to store massive samples.


Source code is here:

Thx for that Nigel, it helps. But I need to store the notes and then upload em after a performance. Also, any idea where the schematic for that tuner might be found?
