writeRAM16()

[RAM]

void writeRAM16(unsigned short address, unsigned short value);

Description

Writes a short value (16 bits) to the RAM memory at the specified address.

Parameters

address: the address where the data will be written.

value: the data to be written.

Returns

Nothing.

Example Code

The code initializes the RAM with a size of 1024 and a width of 2 bytes and writes the value of a counter to the RAM memory at the address 0x00.

static unsigned short counter = 0;

void setup() {
    beginRAM(1024, 2);          // initializes the RAM memory with a size of 1024 * 2 bytes
}

void loop() {
    writeRAM16(0x00, counter);  // writes the value of the counter to the RAM memory at the address 0x00
    counter++;                  // increments the counter by one
}

Notes and Warnings

• The writeRAM16() function can only be used after the beginRAM() function.
• The value parameter must be a 16-bit value (0-65535) or an unsigned short.
• If the programmer initializes the RAM with a width lower than 2 bytes, the function will write only 8 bits of the data.
