Hi.

I am comfused about eeprom size of arduino. for example, i am using arduino MEGA that have 4KB (4096bytes)
i need to write and read numbers in specific place of eeprom
i am using this code:

Code:

int eeprom_data_position;
int eeprom_data;

EEPROM.write(eeprom_data_position, eeprom_data);

//for example
EEPROM.write(1256,212); //on position 1256 write the number 212

if EEPROM have the size of 4096bytes doesnt that means that i can store on position 0-4095 values 0-255?
why when i am trying to store on position that is more than 4095 it still works? (for example EEPROM.write(8022,252), if after this i try to read position 8022 it reads sussesfull the data 252.
is this becouse it actually it writes data in some other position bettwen 0-4095?
please somenone explain me

it wraps around so position 8022 ==> 8022 - 4096 = 3926

fill the eeprom with 00 and write 255 to 8022 and then read back the whole 4K

so there is position 0-4096 with data 0-256 right?

Positions 0-4095 contain data 0-255. That's not quite what you said.
