+## RAD plugins -- the start

+## 
+
+
+# Disclaimer: This is only a first run at the notion of plugins and started off as just a way to keep from adding everything to ArduinoSketch.  
+# ArduinoPlugin is the RAD class for adding "plugins" which add functionality such as servo control, special lcd screen methods, debounce methods, etc.. Sub-classes of ArduinoPlugin (the plugins) add  class methods for doing thing beyond the most common kinds of setup needed when programming the Arduino.  Here is an example of controlling a servo:
+#
+#   class MoveServo < ArduinoSketch
+#
+#     external_vars :sensor_position => "int, 0", :servo_amount => "int, 0"
+#
+#     output_pin 4, :as => :my_servo, :min => 700, :max => 2200
+#     input_pin 1, :as => :sensor
+#     def loop
+#       sensor_position = analogRead(sensor)
+#       servo_amount = (sensor_position*2 + 500)
+#       move_servo my_servo, servo_amount
+#     end
+#   end
+#
+# 
+# Here's one for latching an led
+
+#   output_pin 5, :as => :red_led
+#   input_pin 8, :as => :red_button, :latch => :off, # optional adjustment to amount of time for debounce (default 200) :adjust => 250
+#                                                    # latch sets the led as on or off initially and sets up a array of structs to keep timing and state
+#
+#     def loop
+#       debounce_toggle(red_button, red_led)
+#     end
+#   end
+#
+# Since this is a first pass, there is work to do here, such as 
+#   checking if plugin methods are needed and only loading those that are, 
+#   more compreshensive plugin organization (more railsish with tests, etc)
+#   a scheme to encourage plugin authors and provide an easy way to avoid method and variable namespace collisions
+#   a scheme to flag when a prerequisite plugin is required
+# on with the show:

+#
+# As you can see from this example, your ArduinoSketch sub-class can be dividied into two-parts: class methods for doing configuration and a loop method which will be run repeatedly at the Arduino's clock rate. Documentation for the various available class methods is below. The ArduinoSketch base class is designed to work with a series of rake tasks to automatically translate your loop method into C++ for compilation by the Arduino toolchain (see link://files/lib/rad/tasks/build_and_make_rake.html for details). See http://rad.rubyforge.org/examples for lots more examples of usage.
+#
+# ==Arduino built-in methods
+# Thanks to this translation process you can take advantage of the complete Arduino software API (full docs here: http://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/HomePage). What follows is the core of a RAD-Arduino dictionary for translating between RAD methods and the Arduino functionality they invoke, N.B. many Arduino methods have been left out (including the libraries for Time, Math, and Random Numbers, as the translation between them and their RAD counterparts should be relatively straightforward after perusing the examples here). For further details on each method, visit their Arduino documenation.

+#   June 25, 2008
+#   Added a new external variable method which keeps track 
+#   external_vars :sensor_position => "int, 0", :feedback => "int", :pulseTime => "unsigned long, 0"
+# 
+#   added ability to write additional methods besides loop in the sketch 
+#   since there is quite a bit of work to do with the c translation, it is easy to write a method that
+#   won't compile or even translate into c, but for basics, it works.  
+#   Note: stay basic and mindful that c is picky about variables and must make a decision
+#   which will not always be what you want
+#   also: for now, don't leave empty methods (something like foo = 1 cures this)
+# 
+#   Example:
+#
+#   class HelloMethods < ArduinoSketch
+#     output_pin 13, :as => :led
+#     
+#     def loop
+#       blink_it
+#     end
+
+#     def blink_it
+#       blink 13, 500
+#     end
+#
+#   end
+#
+#   
+#   added pin methods for servos and latching which generate an array of structs to contain setup and status
+#   input_pin 12, :as => :back_off_button, :latch => :off
+#   input_pin 8, :as => :red_button, :latch => :off # adjust is optional with default set to 200
+#
+#   added add_to_setup method that takes a string of c code and adds it to setup
+#   colons are options and will be added if not present  
+#   no translation from ruby for now
+#
+#   example:
+#   
+#   add_to_setup "call_my_new_method();", "call_another();"  
+#
+#   added some checking to c translation that (hopefully) makes it a bit more predictable
+#   most notably, we keep track of all external variables and let the translator know they exist
