    storing multiple light scripts
    I'll ask my question in joke format:

    Q. Did you hear about the student who fell madly in love with 2 different light scripts??

    A. Everything was perfect until he found out he could only take one to the eeprom!

    I would think that if I changed this: byte script_id = 0
    to this: byte script_id = 1
    I would be able to overwrite script id 1 with a new script, but it doesn't work...which doesn't surprise me since the BlinkM datasheeet indicates that I can only write to id 0. So I make the assumption that I can't readily pimp out oodles of my own custom light scripts and fill up the eeprom.

    I see blinkm_nonvol_data.h...which is part of the firmware...so get the idea of how light scripts are stored into the eeprom, but I don't think I have access to modify the BlinkM's eeprom through the Arduino interface. Perhaps I am wrong. I'm not sure.

    So my question becomes: Is there method which I can implement to store multiple new light scripts in the BlinkM's eeprom, and if not, is there any plans to update the firmware so people can store more than one light script?

    thanks,
    brian
