Arduino memory expansion

Post by jammer1957 »

I have just started with a UNO R3 and my simple sketches take up ~11KB of the 32KB available ... what is the recommended way to expand the available memory for larger sketches ... or what technique is used to load/unload "sketch modules" dynamically.

I have an SD slot on the Ethernet shield I purchased ... can it be used to store "sketch modules" to call upon when needed.

Still studying and learning ... but any/all help is appreciated.

Your first task is to make your code smaller rather than make your memory bigger. There are tricks to learn on how to do this and experimentation helps.
