Rasmus -
Sorry I haven't been able to work on this some more lately. I had to spend my
birthday - a day off work - taking my car back to the dealer. Honestly, if I
wanted the windscreen wipers and lights to go off on their own in the car park
I'd have gone for a white VW Beetle with '53' on the side...
I have a very neat small-font text-overlay which should be a big help to
debugging, but I'd forgotten how much code has to go behind even the simplest
text print functions.
I'll get your latest version, try and integrate it and let you know.
