Hi,

You mean the nRF51822?

That's not quite the way you'd use storage. You could try:
```
var storage = require("Storage");
print(storage.list());
```
But I just checked and the 51822 build doesn't have it in, since it's got SAVE_ON_FLASH defined. nRF51 is really tight on flash memory so you can't easily build without.

You could modify NRF51822.py to remove the debugger and tab complete, then edit jswrap_storage.c to remove all the "ifndef" : "SAVE_ON_FLASH", - but honestly you're going to keep hitting trouble with nRF51 - it's just not really big enough to handle Bluetooth and Espruino

Hi @Gordon, thanks for your suggestion to comment out "ifndef" : "SAVE_ON_FLASH", this actually works! I've removed all ifndef statements in the jswrap_storage.c file and also removed 'DEFINES += -DUSE_DEBUGGER -DUSE_TAB_COMPLETE', line in the NRF51822DK.py file. Now I can read/write stuff via Storage lib.
```
var storage = require("Storage");
print("Initial: " + storage.getFree());
storage.write("MyFile", "Some data");
print(storage.read("MyFile"));
print("After storing some data: " + storage.getFree());
```
This prints:
```
>Initial: 3072
>Some data
After storing some data: 3044
```
It seems to me 3072 bytes is more than enough for storing some basic backup data.

BTW, could you please let me know what are these USE_DEBUGGER and USE_TAB_COMPLETE ? Anything important/useful? Cheers
