> I settled on the 4KB part purely based on cost. Even at this measly 4KB size, this one RAM is by far the most expensive component on the board at $25. Given that the costs of putting in a 64KB part (my preferred size) were beyond my imagination (and beyond my wallet's abilities), I decided to invent a complex messaging protocol and make it work over a 4KB RAM used as a bidirectional mailbox.
Is this not the sort of memory you'd need?

just trying to understand the details here.
