EEPROM store data by BARRAGAN
Demostrates how to store data in the EEPROM

    #include <EEPROM.h>

    char val;

    void setup() {
      if (EEPROM.read(5) != 'H') {  // If an H hassn't been stored before
        // in the EEPROM address 5
        EEPROM.write(5, 'H');  // store an 'H' in EEPROM address 5
      }
      val = EEPROM.read(5);    // read value stored in EEPROM address 5

        pinMode(WLED, OUTPUT);
    }

    void loop() {
      if ( val == 'H' )  // if val is 'H' then turon ON the onboard LED (pin 48)
      {
        digitalWrite(WLED, HIGH);
      }
      delay(100);
    }
