HelloEEPROMVar by BREVIG http://alexanderbrevig.com * A simple example that uses this library to store a variable that will be saved and persist through power cycles. Great for settings

    #include <EEPROM.h>
    #include <EEPROMVar.h>

    EEPROMVar<int> eepromRunCounts(1);
    EEPROMVar<float> eepromPI(3.1415f);

    void setup()
    {
      Serial.begin(115200);
      Serial.print("This program has been ran ");
      Serial.print(eepromRunCounts);
      if (eepromRunCounts==1)
      {
        Serial.println(" time.");
      }
      else
      {
        Serial.println(" times.");
      }
      Serial.print("As it multiplies PI by two each execution, the current value is ");
      Serial.println(eepromPI);

      eepromRunCounts++;
      eepromPI *= 2;
    }

    void loop() {
      //nothing to loop

    }
