    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to write a code to store user input string into an array using simple 4 push buttons and then writing it in internal EEPROM of pic16f877a micro-controller. The string is stored in an array but unable to write into EEPROM.  So can anyone please help me on this issue, below is my code:

    #include "INCLUDE.h"
    __CONFIG(FOSC_HS & WDTE_OFF & PWRTE_OFF & BOREN_ON & LVP_OFF & CPD_OFF & WRT_OFF & CP_ON);
    __EEPROM_DATA('W','E','L','C','O','M','E',' '); // Initial string character for 1st time programming.
    __EEPROM_DATA('E','E','P','R','O','M',' ',' '); // String array to store 3 digit access code
    char message4[] = "WRITE COMPLETED";
    char message5[] = "Reading Data";
    char message7[] = "Welcome EEPROM";
    char Edata[] = "0000000000000000";
    unsigned short  k, NUM ;
    unsigned int ADD; // Start EEPROM Location
    char temp, cursor;
    void main (void)
    {
      TRISC   = 0x20;        //PORTC as output
      TRISD   = 0x08;        //PORTD as output
      TRISB   = 0b01000000;  //IR SENSOR INPUT ON RB6
      TRISB7  = 0;
      POWER_LED = 0;
      PORTA   = 0;
      PORTC   = 0;
      PORTD   = 0;
      InitLCD();
      InitADC();
      lcd_gotoxy(0,3);
      WriteStringToLCD("Testing");
      lcd_gotoxy(1,0);
      WriteStringToLCD("internal EEPROM");
      __delay_ms(1000);
      ClearLCDScreen();
      lcd_gotoxy(0,3);
      WriteStringToLCD("ENTER TEXT");
      do
      {
        // Read operation
        if(POWER == 1)
        {
          __delay_ms(400);
          ClearLCDScreen();
          lcd_gotoxy(0,2);
          WriteStringToLCD(message5);
          ADD = 0;
          for (k = 0; k < 16; k++)
          {
            temp = eeprom_read(ADD+k);
            Edata[k] = temp;
          }
          lcd_gotoxy(1,0);
          WriteStringToLCD(Edata);
          __delay_ms(2000);
        }
        // Cursor increment Operation
        if (ENTER == 1)
        {
          __delay_ms(400);
          k = k + 1;
          cursor = cursor + 1;
        }
        // Read & Write Operation
        if (BACK == 1)
        {
          // Write operation
          __delay_ms(400);
          ADD = 0;
          for (k = 0; k < 16; k++)
          {
            temp = message7[k];
            eeprom_write(ADD+k,temp);
          }
          ClearLCDScreen();
          lcd_gotoxy(0,1);
          WriteStringToLCD(message4);
          __delay_ms(1000);
        }
        // Increment character string
        if (UP == 1)
        {
          __delay_ms(400);
          message7[k] = message7[k]+1;
          if(message7[k] > 'Z')
            message7[k] = 'A';
          else if(message7[k] < 'A')
            message7[k] = 'Z';
          lcd_gotoxy(1,cursor);
          WriteDataToLCD(message7[k]);
          message7[ADD] = message7[k];
        }
        // Decrement character string
        if (DOWN == 1)
        {
          __delay_ms(400);
          message7[k] = message7[k]-1;
          if(message7[k] > 'Z')
            message7[k] = 'A';
          else if(message7[k] < 'A')
            message7[k] = 'Z';
          lcd_gotoxy(1,cursor);
          WriteDataToLCD(message7[k]);
          message7[ADD] = message7[k];
        }
      }while(1);
    }

    Hi,

    Logic of your program is not so clear from the above codes. I recommend following.

    1. Verify that EEPROM read write functions are working correctly by writing and reading a single character.
    2. Write  and read string by character by character. Put some small delay after each character operation.
