Rewriting the remote control

Hi everyone so I posted the standard Sparki remote control code yesterday and today (as promised) I am posting the code that I wrote for the remote control.

I wanted to use the remote control to flit between modes for Sparki so I took the ideas from my entertainment bot code and some of my other favourite aspects of Sparki and put the simplest versions of these codes onto the remote control. This means buttons can make Sparki light follow, line follow, wander around autonomously, follow hands and play different tunes.

I was quite impressed with myself when I wrote this but I know I could do something much better if I were to work on it again, especially with my new Sparki mods!

Anyway here is the code:

/*******************************************
  IR Remote
  
  Sparki has a sensor that lets it receives
  commands from the included remote control.
  Try moving it around!
