/* Bike Computer V1.1 - with diagnostics

  Using the serial functions signifigantly increases compiled size, use this if you have a problem in execution or are testing.
  Use the version without diagnostics in production (once you work out the bugs of course)

  Provides controls to basic functions on a bike, such as turning on and off lights,
  Measuring distance traveled, average speed, and logs to a microSD card.
  
  Future versions will also be able to communicate to other 
  microcontrollers through the serial interface.
  
  Version 1 (This version) will be responsible for detecting ambiant light and ramping
  up/down the front and rear LED brightness once light levels reach a certain level.
  Other responsibilities will be blinking pairs of LEDs (front and back) on either side 
  of the bike to indicate turning.
