Hello I'm not sure if this is a programming question well i think it is but i was wondering sense I'm using the esp8266 eeprom to store stuff i was wondering How many times can i read and write to the eeprom?
I know Just like a arduino there is some limitations to how many times. So I'm wondering how many times can i Read and write to a Eeprom device? Thank you.
Hello,
Reading from an EEPROM will not damage it, so theorically you can read it with no limit. Writing will slowly damage the cells being rewritten, and the endurance of a cell could be anything between say 100.000 and millions writes..
I think you are on the wrong forum, try ask here: http://bbs.espressif.com/
Esp8266 that I'm using has arduino sketching and libraries on it.

But you asked a question about the ESP hardware. Why not do what I did, and download the ESP8266 datasheet?
Do you have a datasheet for the device?
What does it say about EEPROM erase/write cycles?

Why make me do the work? It would behoove you to learn some developer habits, like doing basic online research.
Sorry

Sorry
Oops, that was to the OP. But I'm looking it up. All the docs are easy to find in the docs section of the forum given in reply #1. 
The ESP8266 has no EEPROM. At least, none that Expressif will talk about. The AVR has 100,000 cycles.
Umm Sorry i was away from my desk taking care of my wife she a little sick and No i haven't seen the datasheet i didn't even think to look into there. I will look at it thank you for the advice.
I never heard of Expressif website or whatever it is. This is a first time i heard of it.

First, I apologize for being a little grumpy. Both to you and @Awol. I was investigating this last week, and thought I had a datasheet but I didn't really. The fact is, the real datasheet is written in Chinese and I was not able to find an English version from the manufacturer (Espressif), except for a summary. There are several independent websites that try to channel whatever they can dig up on the chip. Even the Chinese version does not seem to mention EEPROM. That does not necessarily mean it doesn't have it, because it is an unfortunate proprietary measure nowadays, to publish incomplete datasheets.
Honestly, though, if you didn't think to look for a datasheet for the answer, that is a fundamental mistake. If I had to ask here for everything I need to know, I would be spamming the board every five minutes and you would quickly get sick of me (if you aren't already). I have learned a lot here from other posters, but mainly interpretations of and expansions on the base knowledge that is contained in reference material. That is the true value of this forum.

My apologize for what i wrote too it's only a reaction to what someone wrote to me that i feel was wrong.
I only ask here because i thought there might be some limitations on it that others have seen or been thought. But never the less you are right i should of look for a datasheet. Maybe i should of rephrase my question differently ask ask if there was some limitation to the esp eeprom. From that I'm reading there is some talk about the esp8266 having a lot of sketch memory and eeprom with it. I don't know if the eeprom is true maybe i should of ask that question.
I'm never rude in any of my post or comments not even once into now. I always respects everyone in here even if they was rude to me in anyway I just thank them and moved on but for reason it just got to me.

Links please?
This is one of them talking about it. This one too i have seen many of them out there. talking about it and problems with it.
Your second link is broken. The bottom line is, it is obvious that getting technical details about this device will be a chore (or actually impossible). If you like that kind of thing, good luck. I've been burned and frustrated too many times by such products.
I bought one ESP module because it was dirt cheap, to play with. But I can see that I'm not going to proceed much unless I see better support.
Second link is not broken it's the arduino forum added something to it http://%22https//forum.sparkfun.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=41648%22
this is the link
How many times to you need to update your EEPROM? Here is the link, sparkfun forum. It seemed to paste fine for me.
