I have a great little Penguin program
coming up. To give you a preview, it turns
the robot into an accurate timer without any
clock or component add-on. It has code to
accurately do timing. This is made possible
by the new faster Penguin board which has
more cycles per unit time. The code has all
the tiny frills, - lights, sound, and timing!
Exactly, it's penguin_tiny_timer.

It does tick-clock. Ticks like a watch, clocks
like a digital timer. Uses the segment
display and special sound echo subroutine
to generate a bonified tick sound. You'll
have to see/hear it to believe it.

    Now it can come tap dance on my head to wake me up in the morning. Or prompt me to stretch for a Carpal Tunnel break while working... Speaking of time, I have an automatic watch that is wound by motion. Why not set my watch on it and have it rock every little bit to keep the watch wound?
