I added ambient brightness detect code yesterday. Still not doing anything with it; the code was copied from Peppercon 9. Will need to test ambient light levels to get good ideas for hardcoded defaults. Need to hook into buttons to enable / disable the feature and show status somehow using the RGBLED. Will likely need to redo the LED code to allow for, say, breathing patterns; the code sucks right now.

For SC8, I am considering adding I2C scanner and arbitrary read/write routines. I may not have time for this until Supercon. I think it would be a handy tool to have if addons are a focus... guess what I do here will depend on features and capabilities of the Supercon 8 badge.

edit 2200: have tracking number for PCBs. looks like Monday I get to design the acrylic stand and 3D printed base.
