| 2 | +This Arduino Extended Database Library increases the maximum number of records allowed in a database from 256 records (byte) to a theoretical maximum of 4,294,967,295 records (unsigned long). The maximum record size was also increased from 256 bytes (byte) to 65,534 bytes (unsigned int). |

7 | | -With these changes, it is now possible to use this library in conjunction with the standard Arduino EEPROM library, an external EEPROM such as the AT24C1024 providing 128 - 512 kilobytes of non-volatile storage, or any other platform that supports byte level reading and writing such as an SD card. |

| 11 | +## Install |
13 | 12 | * Unzip the download into your Arduino libraries directory |
14 | 13 | * If the Arduino IDE is already running then exit and restart the Arduino IDE |
15 | 14 |
|
16 | 15 | ## Getting Started |
17 | | - |
18 | 16 | * Include EDB.h in your Arduino sketch |
19 | 17 | * Define the data structure for your records |
20 | 18 | * Include an I/O interface such as EEPROM.h |
21 | 19 | * Declare an instance of EDB in your Arduino sketch |
22 | 20 | * Pick an EEPROM address at which the table should start |
23 | 21 |
