If you're working on an Arduino project and find the built-in EEPROM in the ATmega chip too limited for data storage, this I2C EEPROM module is your ideal solution. It's based on the AT24C256 EEPROM chip with a 256k bit capacity. Communicating with Arduino via the I2C bus, it makes extensive data storage a breeze. The module features an onboard AT24C256 chip and the necessary pull-up resistors for I2C communication. All pins are clearly marked and leaded. The PCB board measures 36.5mm x 12mm. The package includes one IIC/I2C Serial Interface Module and four 20cm cables. You can also access the AT24C256 Arduino Demo Code, AT24C256 Datasheet, and an introduction to I2C EEPROM on Arduino.
Using this I2C EEPROM module with your Arduino is straightforward. First, connect the module to your Arduino using the provided 20cm cables. Make sure to match the pins correctly as they are clearly marked on the module. Once connected, you can use the AT24C256 Arduino Demo Code as a starting point to start storing data. When it comes to maintenance, keep the module in a dry and clean environment to prevent any damage. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. Also, handle the module gently to prevent any physical damage to the pins or the PCB board. If you need more technical details, refer to the AT24C256 Datasheet.
