====== Notes dumping place for possible Arduino speed-log ======
== ALL DEPENDS on proven functionality of the speed transducer- first things first, remove transducer and test... ==

  * Planned platform is Arduino NANO with Serial LCD.
  * Arduino Mini is cheaper by %50 apparently...
  * Important is display type- black on white is best for sunlight conditions.  Backlight also required.  Maybe white on blue would work well in sunlight?
  * Important is character support- LARGE NUMBERS are necessary.
