BankStick : number of "pages" available with 8 x 24LC256 ?

Hi all,

I’ve just finished to solder my 8 24LC256 modules on the BankStick PCB.

The goal of this post is to be really sure I understand well the dimension of total memory :

I got 8*32kb = 256kb = 256 x 1024 bytes = 262144 (8 x 32678) bytes

Let’s say I want to use the MIOS_BANKSTICK_ReadPage( ) function and know I many memory pages of 64 bytes I can access :

I got 262144 / 64 = 4096 pages. Is this true ? This sound quite big to me … if it’s the case I can store lot more setups I thought at first !! 8) ;D

Thanks,

Olivier

jup, sounds right.

I was astonished too, that I can save 256 patches on one (!) BS (1 patch uses 2 pages), this results in 16 Banks with 127 programs each for 8 BSs (= 2048 patches total, so your calculation is right).

Regards,

Michael

thanks m8 waow :o that’s huge ! I guess I won’t even fill a pair of BS with presets ;D

Another good news is that my project is done (except for the software of course ;))

I just have to close the box and cut that wood panels …

Thanks again,

Olivier
