| store double in eeprom |

Hi There,
I'm having troubles storing an array of 16 16bit values to the eeprom and read it back.
I read all weird values :(. My functions look like this:
It's one value per iteration, VARNUM is set to 16.
| Code: |
void WriteToEEPROM(eevalues* data)
{
int8 i=0;
for (i=0; i<VARNUM; i++){
write_eeprom((i*2),*((int8*)&(data[i]->value)));
write_eeprom((i*2)+1,*((int8*)&(data[i]->value) + 1));
}
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void ReadFromEEPROM(eevalues* data)
{
int8 i;
for (i = 0; i<VARNUM; i++) {
*((int8*)&data[i]->value) = read_eeprom((i*2));
*((int8*)&(data[i]->value)+1) = read_eeprom((i*2)+1);
}
}

What am I doing wrong here?
Thank you for assistance!

Honestly, instead of fluffing through all that,
I usually build myself a structure with all my stuff in it that I want to save.
Like:
| Code: |
struct {
unsigned int a;
unsigned long b;
unsigned int32 c;
} config;
and then I basically loop around a pointer to config and save every byte to EEPROM....
As long as you load and save config, byte by byte in the same order, your structure is golden.

Key fault though is in the pointer/array handling.
If 'data' is a pointer, then 'data[i]', is the 'i'th value pointed _to_, not a pointer.
To access the address of the element inside the array, would need:
&(data[i].value)

Is that for me or him? (I don't access the array quite like that when saving).

Well I get it going by just taking every double apart and saving byte by byte which works fine.
Thanks for your hints & suggestions! |

That's for the original poster, who is using 'data[i]', as if it is a pointer, by using the -> construct. No wonder it doesn't work.....
