Re: [oopic] Conserving bytes

You've run into the lesson that we all do eventually - That is that
these little embedded processors cannot do everything. Eventually you
will have to specialize a bit. You have chosen some pretty precise
controls, which take up space. Just turning on motors comes easy, but
doesn't do all that you want. You may want to consider pairing another
ooPIC in to handle different functions.
