   This software can connect to the blue wire in a normal OEM system, detecting the

+  If Pin 21 is grounded on the Due, this simple stream will be reported over USB and
+  no control from the Arduino will be allowed.
+  This allows sniffing of the blue wire in a normal system.
+  
   The binary data is received from the line.
   If it has been > 100ms since the last blue wire activity this indicates a new frame 
   sequence is starting from the OEM controller.
   Synchronise as such then count off the next 24 bytes storing them in the Controller's 
   data array. These bytes are then reported over USB to the PC in ASCII.

   Capture those bytes and store them in the Heater1 data array.
