It's much easier and more precise to let the hardware do the timing. When you add interrupts and timers together, the world becomes your oyster!

	'''Covers''': ~~Learning~~ to use other people's code and tie it in to our packages~~. Interfacing~~ with all sorts of random devices for fun and profit.		'''Covers''': First, we'll cover using the internal flash memory and EEPROM for data storage. Then I'll demo how to use other people's code/libraries and tie it in to our packages, interfacing with all sorts of random devices for fun and profit. The final (optional) trick will be turning your classboard into a standalone AVR programmer so that you can program raw chips yourself, and outgrow the bootloader.

	~~'''Labs''': I'll~~ be ~~providing example code interfacing with all sorts of~~
	~~external gear. Pick~~ and ~~choose whichever you'd like to implement.~~

	~~'''Homework''': None~~. ~~It's project time! Start thinking up what you'd like~~
	~~to do here...~~
