I'm in the midst of developing a Python toolset for some proprietary hardware used at NOAO. The code has to write a series of EEPROMS in the hardware to determine conversion factors for hardware attributes.
The EEPROM format is 2048 32-bit words each word represents the slope, intercept, minimum or maximum value for one of the hardware attributes. What goes into the EEPROM needs to be the binary representation in IEEE 32 bit format for the conversion factor since the eeprom is read by a 'C' program.
I could write the EEPROM from a 'C' routine but I was hoping I could do the job in pure Python. Has anyone done this or have any ideas on how to do it in python?
