def get_eeprom(self, eeprom_address=0x50):

Two separate I2C transfers in case the buffer size is small

    **q1 = [I2C.Message([0x00, 0x00]), I2C.Message([0x00]*4000, read=True)]
    q2 = [I2C.Message([0x0f, 0xa0]), I2C.Message([0x00]*4000, read=True)]**
    self.i2c.transfer(eeprom_address, q1)
    self.i2c.transfer(eeprom_address, q2)
    return np.array(q1[1].data + q2[1].data)

The function above was taken from htpa.py code. what I understand is you are reading 4000 number of bytes from 4 location from the EEPROM, (0x00,0x00,0x0f,0x0a). Please explain this two line I bold up in the function on what is happening and is my understanding correct?

Actually this is more for explaination and details rather than an issue.

Thank You.
