New Software Feature Added: Current Limiting

I've added current limiting to the software. So, now I can choose any max current, and it won't go above that. This will be good for testing what the max current should be.

I also etched the power section on the 5 ounce PCB. It's way thicker than that ghetto stuff from radio shack! holy cow! The dremel did a pretty good job. I think a mill might work a little better, but still this is a good cheap solution.
