saving button presses to eeprom

i had button recorder working until tried saving arrays eeprom. wont enter record mode. suggestions/help?

code: [select]

#include <avr/eeprom.h>

byte trigbtn = 1;      // assign pin button input record sequence.
byte recbtn  = 2;      // assign pin button push , hold recording.
byte pin_d5   = 4;      // assign pin d5 pin digital output.

boolean inrecordmode = false;     // create boolean variable hold current  state of record mode.
boolean wasinrecordmode = false;  // create boolean variable hold previous state of record mode.

// buffers record state/duration combinations
int maxsamples = 100;   // maximum number of samples in bytes can stored.
boolean states[100];    // create states array record number of on , off states.
int durations[100];     // create durations array , can have many duration times.

int idxplayback  = 0;    // initialize index playback array 0
int idxrecord    = 0;    // initialize index record array 1
int samplelength = 50;   // 50 ms

void setup() {
  pinmode(recbtn, input);      // setup mode button input
  pinmode(trigbtn, input);    // setup input button input
  pinmode(pin_d5, output);     // setup pin d5 pin_d5 output
}

void loop() {   
  inrecordmode = digitalread(recbtn);                // read mode button
  if(inrecordmode == true) {                          // test if mode button pressed in record mode
    if(!wasinrecordmode) {                            // if button not pressed in record mode, reset arrays , index playback
      // reset record buffers
      memset(states, 0, sizeof(states));        // set size of states array
      memset(durations, 0, sizeof(durations));  // set size of durations array
      idxrecord = 0;     // reset record idx make playback start point obvious
    }
      if(inrecordmode == false) {
        eeprom_write_block((void *)0x00, states, sizeof(states));
        eeprom_write_block((void *)0x20, durations, sizeof(durations));
      } else {
        recordloop();        // perform recording loop function
      }
  } else {               // or else
    playbackloop();      // perform playback loop function
  }
 
  wasinrecordmode = inrecordmode; // record prev state next iteration know whether reset record array index
}

void recordloop() {
  boolean state = digitalread(trigbtn); // read state of input sequence recorder button.
  digitalwrite(pin_d5, state);    // change state of output input give feedback person recording loop
 
  if(states[idxrecord] == state) {   
    // if state not changed, add duration of current state
    durations[idxrecord] += samplelength;
  } else {
    // if state changed, go next index (idx) , set default duration of 1ms
    idxrecord++;
    if(idxrecord == maxsamples) { idxrecord = 0; } // reset idx if max array size reached
    states[idxrecord] = state;                     // save state states array index
    durations[idxrecord] = samplelength;           // save duration of sample durations array index
  }
 
  delay(samplelength); // slow loop time constant can reproduce timelyness of recording
}

void playbackloop() {
  eeprom_read_block(states, (void *)0x00, sizeof(states));
  eeprom_read_block(durations, (void *)0x20, sizeof(durations));
  digitalwrite(pin_d5, states[idxplayback]);       // playback output pin_d5
  delay(durations[idxplayback]);                   // leave output pin in state duration
 
  idxplayback++;                                   // increment playback index can play next value
  if(idxplayback == maxsamples) { idxplayback=0; } // repeat recorded loop when reach maximum number of samples
}

no real odd

code: [select]


  if (inrecordmode == true) {                         // test if mode button pressed in record mode
    if (!wasinrecordmode) {                           // if button not pressed in record mode, reset arrays , index playback
      ...
      ...
    }
    if (inrecordmode == false) {
      // think ever here  <------------------------------------
      ...
      ...
    } else {
      recordloop();        // perform recording loop function
    }
  } else {               // or else
    playbackloop();      // perform playback loop function
  }


also, why use 'low level' library , not higher level eeprom library?
