Hi,
Check the CCS website itself , the example program contains a circuit diagram for using a 24LC04 EEPROM, and also the source code..
thanks

First of all, select the eeprom you want to start playing with and then get SEVERAL of these for you to learn on. Odds are that you will either wear them out or blow them up experimenting. Then, read the spec. sheet on it, front to back. Learn all you can from it. It should tell you all of the particulars on how to address the eeprom, write to it and read from it. Next, start with a Very simple program to talk to the eeprom. Try to write one byte to it and then read that byte back to see if it made it okay. If you don't have any success then start posting the code that you have tried and we'll try to talk you through it.
From my own experience, I have learned the most when I have tried to do something new and banged my head against the monitor over and over trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong (I can't do that now with my flat panel monitor though ).
