Edit: Was going to write a seperate comment to the thread but had a change of heart, so I'll add my congratulations to jgc to this comment rather than cluttering the place up. Things like this regularly make me want to start playing with Arduinos, hopefully someday my laziness / lack of time (depending on how you look at it) will ease off.
