Hi! I would like to ask how long the Bangle.js external Flash storage lifetime is, in terms of page write cycles. Thanks!

I'm not sure of the exact part number. It's a pretty standard SPI flash chip though, and if you look at similar 32mbit flash chips they generally all say 100,000 page erase cycles minimum.

Espruino's Storage system is pretty good at avoiding erase cycles because it's journalling, so unless you keep Storage over 90% full all the time and write loads you should be totally fine

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
