Introduction
If you want more storage for your Arduino project, this arduino EEPROM Data storage module is designed for you. This EEPROM data storage module supplies an extra 32k byte for your project. Simply wired them via I2C. Supplied with Interface cable which can be fawlessly integrated with interface shield.
Specification
- Supply Voltage: +5V
- Current: <10mA
- Interface: I2C/TWI
- EEPROM: AT24C256
- Weight: 5 gram
Setting
- Default Address:0x50
- Adjustable from 0x50-0x57 via the swither
