+// NOTES:
+// 1. mbed.h MUST BE the revision from 30 Mar 2016, otherwise it will behave strange and unexpected! Older or newer versions won't work.
+//    For example, with the latest version of mbed.h from 25 May 2016, the "wait" function does not work at all, it's the same as if it's not there.
+// 2. writeEEPROM has 64 bytes limitation. If you want to write more at once, read http://www.hobbytronics.co.uk/eeprom-page-write how this guy made it work.
+//    Im not interested in storing data above 64 bytes (1 page). The 24LC256 chip has 4096 pages.
+// 3. reading the entire eeprom does its job until the 512 byte, then it will cycle from zero. I don't know why...
