Added message scrolling, ACP and global time variables. #1

Hi,

I thought you might be interested in several things I added to your base code:

  1. ACP every 10 minutes (function is called oneArmedBandit()).
  2. Display the date very minute at 50s - this uses a class called Transition. I implemented several transitions - scrolling and scrambling. This also means I had to add an extra mechanism to blank digits.
  3. Use global variables for hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds. This is so that all the functions called from loop() see the same values. For example, this means that the flashing separators stay in sync with the actual seconds display.

I hope you find these changes interesting.

Thanks - Paul Andrews

I read all of your messages, but I'm on vacation and I have no way to check it out. But anyway, I really appreciate what you are doing!

No problem. Love the clock and you are welcome to the code if you want to use it. Compiled code size is quite large now (though it still fits!). It could be reduced by reducing the number of transition types.

If you want to discuss any of the changes, feel free to get in touch.

I just looked at all your commits. Your code are awsome, you are really pro! We made a new shield rev 1.2 that support: Arduino Mega (and UNO too), Temperature sensor (work - tested but not implemented yet in firmware) IR sensor (work - tested but but not implemented yet in firmware) Light Sensor (not tested) GPS (only for Arduino Mega, work - tested but but not implemented yet in firmware) We want to present for You this new shield for 1$(+shipping cost): just make "best offer" on 1$ for this listing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162198121548

I have a question: why You decide to move on HSV color model?
