10/01/2008 updates for v0.74

added a small serial transmitter function. The guino now outputs the following data over the serial port at 9600 baud every half second: instantmpg, instantmph, instant.injHius, instant.injPulses, instant.vssPulses

So "realtime" laptop/cellphone integration should be a snap if your guino has a usb/rs232 connection or you can build one and you can gather the data on the laptop/cellphone. This also has applications for remote displays.

I also added a #define usedefaults so that you can build the guino without a lcd if you intend to only use it with a laptop/cellphone. It will simply skip the setup screen/loading of eprom values.

Since all the interesting data is already going over the serial port now, I removed the debug ifdef branching.
At that point, if you know how to build something to pick up serial data and only display the MPG, it should be simpler and cheaper than a full second MPGuino. That's a big "if" though.
