AVR-Chat

>From the help of AVR studio
-- quote
Sometimes you may experience problems when loading AVR Studio 4
projects. Close AVR Studio and remove the project file (.aps).  Then
startup AVR Studio and try again by creating a new project.

Usually the initialized EEPROM data or SRAM is automatically uploaded to
the EEPROM memory of the debug platform after a user confirmation. If
this does not happen, you can do this manually by selecting 'Up/Download
memories' after loading the project.
-- end of quote. 

This last part sort of sound like what is happening. This should be
initialized SRAM and the data is just not there. However using the menu
selection listed in the help does not yield any better results. The
options on the menu item are memory type which default to data with a
size of 4096 and a start address of 0x100. then it asks for a file
accepting either a .hex or a .eep 

Has anyone had any experience with this?

First,
volatile const uint8_t * TargetPointer; is declared that way because
unless I added the const gcc complains 
I think what I am supposed to be doing there is declaring TargetPointer
to be a pointer to a constant unsigned byte (ie uint8_t) The array Room1
is an array of constant uint8_t

Second switch (Room1[0]) would always to the same thing. Since Room1[0]
would never change. Where as TargetPointer is supposed to be assigned
the address of the 1st byte of the array Room1 later in the code
TargetPointer is incremented and basically walks the array. 

The problem is not with the code but the debugger. I can see that
TargetPointer get assigned the address of Room1 like it should but the
array Room1 does not contain the byte sequence that it should.

Some comments:

//why do you declare TargetPointer as const?
volatile const uint8_t * TargetPointer;

//try this instead of using TempPointer, TargetPointer
switch (Room1[0]) 
//also, don't forget the 'break' sentence after
//every case block

Regards
