It's only a few lines of code, and you could write it in any old language you know or have available. An old DOS version of Turbo Pascal would be fine, and you'd have a bit of fun learning to use it - it's great for noddy programs like this, and the only reason I don't still use it is I don't have a conveniently bootable DOS system or emulator. You can download the old 5.5 version for free, and if you don't have a DOS version you could download and install FreeDOS.

If you can program an EEPROM then you can certainly handle the simple high level programming involved. There is plenty of example code around if you google.
