| + | |||
| + | 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.
