/***
   EEPROM Update method

   Stores values read from analog input 0 into the EEPROM.
   These values will stay in the EEPROM when the board is
   turned off and may be retrieved later by another sketch.

   If a value has not changed in the EEPROM, it is not overwritten
   which would reduce the life span of the EEPROM unnecessarily.

    Larger AVR processors have larger EEPROM sizes, E.g:
    - Arduno Duemilanove: 512b EEPROM storage.
    - Arduino Uno:        1kb EEPROM storage.
    - Arduino Mega:       4kb EEPROM storage.
    - Teensy 3.0 & 3.1:   2kb EEPROM storage.
    - Teensy-LC:          128b EEPROM storage.
    - Teensy 2.0:         1kb EEPROM storage.
    - Teensy++ 2.0:       4kb EEPROM storage.

    Rather than hard-coding the length, you should use the pre-provided length function.
    This will make your code portable to all AVR processors.
