PyroPhin is on a distinguished road
this is an example of a good idea gone horribly wrong.

when you go into user mode, it kills all your LED's because the stamp only has 8 pins open after all the other uP and misc functions. this happens to be the magic number to drive an 8 segment LED display as well.
the only way for IF to feasibly do it and not make things too complex was this.

practically.. the function is useless.. alot more usefull to have indicator LED's
