Class to provide simple access to I2C EEPROM chiles like Microchip's 24LC range or AMTELS AT24C range. Chips up to 64Kb in size are directly supported.

Dependents:   Test_I2CEeprom Alternator2020_06

This class provides a simple read write interface for I2C EEPROMs like Microchip's 24LC range and AMTELS AT24C range. The class ensure that writes respect the page size of the chip to ensure larger blocks can be written in one call. The class uses the supplied buffer to directly write to the chip so no extra RAM is used.

+/// Although not tested it should work with the MAC versions of Microchip range
+/// as well but the chipSize will need to be set to include the ROM area as well.
