Re: Parameters software
It's a neat idea, I've had a similiar one myself.

However, do take a look at Kevin Watsons Bells and Whistles Camera code. It use the EEPROM to store constants for variables, and has a menuing system for adjusting some of them. You might want to consider exploring that type of methodolgy for dynamic updating on the fly.

The only downsides I can see are the EEPROM size, the extra code size you'd need to implement menuing change system, and training, teaching, others on your team to understand it, change it, update it and use it without you. It's the last item that the really important one.
