Arduino code logger

[raquelalegre]

I've seen a few variables and comments in ScouseTom_Control about debugging your Arduino code. Visual Micro, which you are starting to use now, seems the ideal tool for this, as well as Eclipse+Arduino's plugin, but if you intend to pass this code to other users that don't have/want Visual Micro or Eclipse, there's also the less sofisticated, oldfashioned way.

We can easily build a library that uses Serial.print() underneath and you can import to print out things only when running in debug mode. You wouldn't need to comment/uncomment all the Serial.print() lines all the time, just import this library and replace your debug print messages to DEBUG_PRINT() or similar. It'll only print stuff out when in debug mode, and be ignored otherwise. See this post.

Are you up for this, @Jimbles? We could try it tomorrow if you like.

This logging library seems a better solution.
