Summary

Provides access to external SPI RAM for temporary data storage and retrieval.

Description

The **RAM (SPI)** component enables communication with external RAM chips over the SPI interface. It can be used to store and manage various types of data dynamically at runtime, providing extended volatile memory for applications requiring buffering, caching, or handling large temporary data sets.

This component supports multiple **element types**, allowing flexible data handling:

• Elements:
  • Storage
  • Storage State
  • Alpha Color
  • Color
  • Analog
  • Complex
  • Quaternion
  • Integer
  • Unsigned
  • Integer 64 bit
  • Unsigned 64 bit
  • Integer 8 bit
  • Unsigned 8 bit
  • Integer 16 bit
  • Unsigned 16 bit
  • Char
  • Digital
  • Text
  • Binary
  • RGBW Alpha Color
  • RGBW Color
  • Date/Time

These elements allow the RAM to function as a general-purpose temporary storage device for a wide range of data formats.
