So MMBasic is busy. So it is not better than a simple "PAUSE 6" (unless a particular fast I2C chip is ready in 4ms). Regards, Volhout I just took a quick look at some I2C EEPROM datasheets from various manufacturers (which we have archived on a server at work) and noticed the following: Many have "WriteCycleTime = max. 5ms", but the AT24C1024, for example, has 10ms — so 6ms might even be too short! Sure, "PAUSE 6" is the easy way, which probably works 90% of the cases — but it can also sometimes be too short — or usually too long. By the way, I initially thought "PAUSE 6" would pause for 6 seconds... @phil99: Good example code shown! Regards, bfwolf
