Pummer beginnings

Long Time Coming

Been working on BASIC Stamp ideas and haven't updated for a while.  Even thought the stamp is working well, I am going to transition to the Arduino.  Like the open source, cost, and floating point math.  Will still use the BASIC Stamp for several projects but will develop new projects on the Arduino.
