hi guys,
i'm wondering if you figured this out in the meantime!?
as documented in another thread, i am interfacing a graphical LCD.
The original code (threw in by massimo) defines the ASCII characters in pixels.
like that:
static const byte FontLookup [][5] =
{
{
0x7E, 0x11, 0x11, 0x11, 0x7E }
, // A
{
0x7F, 0x49, 0x49, 0x49, 0x36 }
, // B
{
0x3E, 0x41, 0x41, 0x41, 0x22 }
, // C
{
0x7F, 0x41, 0x41, 0x22, 0x1C }
//D
//...
}
using this code the array is stored in RAM right? or is it in the flash memory??? (BTW what does the "static const" declaration do exactly?)
since every character takes 5 Bytes of memory and there are 95 printable ascii characters, i'm constantly running out of memory when working on the code. those 512 bytes of eeprom would come very handy!
is there a way to put all those pixel bytes into the eeprom using the ide? if i understand it right, the bootloader just copies the program into the flash-memory. is the bootloader able to write into eeprom at all?
i know i could copy the bytes from the RAM to the EEPROM using eeprom_write_byte(adr,val); but as it looks i'm not even able to get the program up running with every ascii character describe. 
another question:
is the eeprom used for anything when doing normal arduino stuff (no fancy c)? as a buffer for serial communication or something? or some debugging data maybe? just because it wasn't empty when i first accessed it for testing.
hope to hear from you.
i whish you all a nice easter weekend.
