With this program, I can only read and write upto 6 digits into the IC.I have attached the serial monitor output to the this thread for reference
Serial O/P
We write the zip code data, a zip code in Arlington, Virginia!

What is your largest data that you want to save into the EEPROM?
i need to write and read atleast 8 digit variable on it
8-digit -- which one of the following?
0x00000000 to 0xFFFFFFFF
or
00000000 to 99999999

The Decimal one
1. Remember that the decimal number (say, 99999999) that you see/submit for storage into the EEPROM is always get stored as binary which is: 5F5E0FF (28-bit). In Arduino, there is no data size such as 28-it; so, we will use the next size which is 32-bit and declare is as:
long x = 99999999; //99999999 --> 0x05F5EOFF
2. As I2C is a byte oriented protocol where data exchange 1-byte at a time, we need to convert the 4-byte wide composite data item of Step-1 into 4 separate bytes using the following union data structure:
union
{
long x;
byte myData[4];
}data;
data.x = 99999999;
3. This is the connection diagram between UNO and EEPROM using I2C Bus.
5. This is the sketch (untested) to perform read/write operation on the EEPROM.
#include<Wire.h>
union
{
long x;
byte myData[4];
}data;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
Wire.begin(); //edit
data.x = 99999999; //
//------------------------------
Wire.beginTransmission(0x50);
Wire.write(0x00); //higher part of EEPROM address 0010 from which data will be stored
Wire.write(0x10); //lower part of EEPROM address
for(byte i = 0; i<4; i++)
{
Wire.write(data.myData[i]); //data bytes being queued in buffer
}
Wire.endTransmission();
delay(5); //5 ms data write delay
//--------------read and siaply----------------------------
Wire.beginTransmission(0x50);
Wire.write(0x00); //point EEPROM's beginning address
Wire.write(0x10); //lower part of EEPROM address
Wire.endTransmission();
//----------------------------------------------------------
Wire.requestFrom(0x50, 4); //4 -byte to read
Serial.println(Wire.read(), HEX); //shows: FF
Serial.println(Wire.read(), HEX); //shows: E0
Serial.println(Wire.read(), HEX); //shows: FF
Serial.println(Wire.read(), HEX); //shows: 05
}
void loop()
{
}
I just tried the coding yoou posted . It givess reply with full of Fs
Add the following line in the setup() function and then rerun the sketch. Report the result -- you should have been able to find this error in the program.
Wire.begin();
