Ok thanks, I have the numbers now so I will choose the proper option according to final requirements.

I got confused there, of course it’s 1024 variables, thanks. How often do I need to update the variables? Well, as long as I could be able to store them in flash if electricity goes off, I could handle them in RAM, but none of them shold be lost, they are indeed important statistical data the user n...

@nopnop2002, I could do what you suggest with W25 chips but in the ESP32 too, right? I mean they seem to have similar write/erase cycle limits. @ESP_Sprite, this is very clever indeed and very useful for this simple case where there are only 366 values but this sacrifices huge amount of memory space...

It's clear now, I was thinking about that magic value too as an alternative.

Thank you for the help.

Hello, I am migrating one project from PIC to ESP32 and I have the following question regarding data storage. At the moment I use an external memory in the PIC to store some statistical data. The memory is divided in 366 chunks, one per day of the year, where I save what the equipment consumes every...

Ok so let's say I reserve the first 4 bytes of the partition just to check whether it's erased or not. If I understand you correctly, can I assume that if I read those 4 bytes and they're not all 1, then the partition is not erased? Would it be correct something like this? Can I guarantee that if ch...

Hello, I am following this example to implement my own partition and store some statistical data in my project: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/a97a7b0962da148669bb333ff1f30bf272946ade/examples/storage/partition_api/partition_ops/main/main.c It's simple enough and it works just fine but I ...

I had this problem but it was just a corrupt state after a bad flashing process. I reflashed and it was fixed.

Ok thanks, understood.

Hello, I am using the function esp_timer_is_active() to detect whether a particular timer is active or not but the behaviour is misleading according to the documentation. Everything works as expected except this function returns TRUE (active) after the timer has been deleted. Is this the expected be...
