Title: Penguin Segment Display Dimmer
Code Name: penguin_dimmer.bpx
Purpose: Program to dim a digit on the segment display


This is a tiny light dimmer program for the 7-segment display on
Penguin Robot.

The code will display a numeral 8 with full brightness and
alternate between the dimmed and undimmed digit.

The dim code is already set at the lower baseline dim adjustment,
according to persistence of vision.

To adjust the level of dim/bright, change the value of d.
Increasing d only causes increasing flicker. However, decreasing d
can slowly increase the brightness.

Use Penguin's dimmer code to go into a display sleep mode,
or a battery power save mode which pulses the display.
