Expanding Arduino Memory?

Post by splatten »

I've done a quick search on Google and not found anything that real solves the problem. Is there any way of increasing the program memory available for applications?

My application is very small, but with the required libraries I'm fast running out of memory (32K). Are they're any shields for increasing the application space. I have several Arduino's inc. Uno, Flora, Gema, Trinket and Yun.

I really want to continue using the smaller models instead of the Yun.

The microcontrollers in these boards are designed as an integrated one-chip solution and Atmel makes them in a variety of sizes. If you want more memory, you generally need to step-up to a larger chip.

Are they're any pre-assembled versions with larger memory that can be used for development?

The Mega is one. There is also the Teensy3.1.

Thank you, Teensy 3.1 looks like a good bet!

Received the Teensy 3.1 today, very impressed with it, its so small and yet so capable.

Yes. Paul Stoffregan at PJRC does great work!
