 +The circuit is expected to be used with either an ESP-01 attached and with its UART connected to a computer to load in scripts, else without an ESP-01 and with the I2C lines connected to a Raspberry Pi.

 +It should be reasonably simple to construct on stripboard. Tripad board will be used to demonstrate this at a later time. 
 === I2C bus === === I2C bus ===
 +
 +The I2C bus is simple affair with only two lines required for its operation. This is perfect for the ESP-01 module which only has two GPIOs exposed on its header pins. For the Raspberry Pi, there are two I2C buses, but only one is normally available.

 I2C EEPROMs have varied addressing schemes. The simplest is a 8-bit address offset, another one where a block selection is made with an I2C address and a byte selection is made with an 8-bit address offset. Yet another, where the I2C address is fixed but it now has a 16-bit address offset and lastly one with both of the last methods combined. I2C EEPROMs have varied addressing schemes.
