| weird eeprom behaviour |

Hi There,
I am storing default values (SIGNED int16) in the eeprom on start up, that looks like:
| Code: | for(i=0;i<VARNUM;i++){
by1=store[i] & 0xFF;
by2=(store[i] >> 8) & 0xFF;
write_eeprom(i*2,by1);
write_eeprom(i*2+1,by2);
} |
and for some reason all the data get written properly except when i is equal to 10. The value at eeprom 20 (i*2) is fine but 21 is always 0... I can't explain why that would be... :(.
Any hints or suggestions?
Thanks a lot! |

| You don't say which PIC you're using, any chance it doesn't have EEPROM at that location ? |

As a comment, look at the make8 function, or using a union. A lot faster than fiddling around shifting and 'and'ing....
