The atmel atmega328 chip has an address space of 01023 and each of these slots can save 1byte or 8bit which is the same btw. Eeprom is a handy, nonvolatile storage space that works well for storing data such as calibration or tuning constants that are not practical to hardcode into flash. Today i faced the problem that i wanted to write an int integer to the integrated arduino eeprom. By disabling cookies, some features of the site will not work. The eeprom memory has a specified life of 100,000 writeerase cycles, so you may need to be careful about how often you write to it. For writes, one or two bytes are used for the address, so writing is therefore limited to 31 or 30 bytes.
If you do not know, what eeprom is, see wikipedia page. Eeprom has a total lifetime of 100,000 write cycles. I start writing these characters to the esp8622 memory starting at position 0 with this command eeprom. To store numbers on multiple bytes int, long, double, you need to know how many.
