pic as a flash memory card idea

[brandonb]

what i wanted to do was use a small surface mount 18f2685 as a eeprom flash memory stick using pins B6,B7,B0,C6,C7 plus power and ground to interface with another 18f2685 that runs a flowbench through the same pins, im gonna have about 1,000 eeprom save locations on the flowbench project, i wanted to take the memory stick idea above and plug it in to a header on the flowbench project, then through menu on flowbench project send all eeprom to the flash stick, and also be able to take whats on the flash stick and put it on the flowbench using rs232 communication through the same menu system, do you guys think this is possible? is there an easier way of doing this by other means? i can send 8 bit numbers with rs232 right? ....any comments or criticism welcome

Hello,

Microchip have an example of how to use the USB peripheral with the onboard flash to give a mass storage style access to the device memory. This normally gives you a couple of k to play around with.

Your idea of saving items via the EEPROM should also work well. What communications method are you going to use to talk between the devices?

i was hoping rs232 will work to send a bunch of 8 bit numbers
