I have created a program and circuit that allows for the reading and writing of memory onto the EEPROM chip. The program has 4 analog inputs, and if the switch at d8 is flipped to 5V, then the microchip will begin to read values from four analog inputs (A6, A5, A4, A3) and write them to the memory of the external EEPROM chip. If the switch at d9 is turned to 5V, then the microchip will existing data from the EEPROM memory chip.
Heres the code I wrote for the program.
/*
WRITE READ 4 ANALOG INPUTS
program waits in a loop for the switch on either d8 or d9 to be thrown.
if d8 is thrown, it goes into write mode writing the voltages at 4 analog inputs
if d9 is thrown, it goes into read mode, reading all the information stored on the eeprom chip (waits for d9 to be shut off)
