EEPROM stands for electrically erasable read only memory. It is a non volatile memory means that it will store the last data if any power failure. Suppose we want to count the number of visitors in a shop. If a power failure occurs then all data will be erased. In that case we can store our counting i.e. important data in EEPROM. Maximum all Atmega family microcontrollers have internal EEPROM memory. They can have from 512 bytes to 4k bytes of EEPROM memory space and is linearly organized. The EEPROM i.e. Electrical Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory stores the values and we can read the values as soon as the power on. In order to read and write data from this memory there is a necessary special access function-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 7 segment display part we write a program to display numbers in 7 segment display. In this section we modify the program to store the numbers of visitor\u2019s in the EEPROM instant of storing in the flash memory. We also introduce a push button to clear the EEPROM, so that we may have the ability to start from beginning. After erasing the EEPROM please restart the device unless useless data will show. We previously learn how to display in seven segment display. Now we introduce new function to display digits using persistence of vision.<\/p>\n\n\n

As soon as we run the program an extra file is generated that is main.eep, where the program EEPROM value stored. We have to load the main.eep file in the burner software as shown in the figure-<\/p>\n\n\n\n
