Yes, it is a really big program. It contains a lot of text (LCD data) which takes up a lot of space. And i am using float point routines. The program so far has got about 900 lines.
The circuit has got a 2K EEPROM. I have thougt about putting the text there because i don't use the whole eeprom for other data storage. Or maybe in the internal EEPROM.
So i can skip the BOOTLOADER if i don't use the simple programming?
It doesn't affect any other functions, right?
