Hi, I am using the PIC16F690 which came with my PicKit 2 starter kit.
I have programmed the PIC to read from the analogue port and then output a bar display on the C port indicating the percentage of voltage read.
I also want to store the result every 5 minutes. To do this I have converted the voltage to an 8 bit number (which is good enough for me) and what I was going to do was write this to a FIFO store which I could then read from at a later date. However instead of doing that I though I could just keep track of the 5 minute readings internally in an array of bytes in the PIC. The question I have is how big can this get?
The statitistics of the chip show that I have 234 storage locations free of RAM and 3479 free of ROM (not too sure what this means).
Can someone help me out?
Thanks,
Craig
