Description: Reading EEPROM means accessing non-volatile memory on microcontrollers and similar devices to retrieve stored data. EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a type of memory that allows information to be stored even when the device is powered off. In general, EEPROM is used to save data that needs to persist across restarts, such as user settings, counters, or device states. Unlike RAM, which is cleared when the device is turned off, EEPROM retains its content, making it a valuable tool for projects that require long-term data storage. Reading from EEPROM is done using specific functions that allow access to memory addresses where data has been saved. This is particularly useful in applications where critical information needs to be remembered, such as in control systems, monitoring devices, or home automation projects. The ability to read and write to EEPROM expands project possibilities, allowing for greater interactivity and customization in the use of electronic devices.
