Hi,
I'm trying to create a program which will log data. I wanted to set an Arduino to log data for 3 years (1905 days), and log data to it each hour of the day. This would give a double array, mxn, of 45,720 entries.
When I tried to compile my code (snip-it below), it told me that the array was too large. I tried various values below 1905, and when I tried 500, it allowed it. The array I'm interested in has a type int, and all values will be whole and positive.
How do I figure out what the max size of the array I can use is? And why was mine too large? I was planning on using an 8GB microSD card later (but I haven't included it yet).
// Array mxn for logging data
const int day_row_max = 1905; // maximum day count
const int hour_column_max = 24; // hour interval
int datalogger[day_row_max][hour_column_max]; //[day number][hour interval]
