Sparkfun EL Sequencer Code w/ Spektrum AR600 Remote Control

    /*This is code for my Sparkfun EL Sequencer with 6 strands
    of EL wire.  The inputs are radio inputs from a Spektrum
    AR600 Receiver, coupled to a Spektrum DX5e transmitter for
    R/C airplanes to remotely control the system.  It was built
    for a rock opera put on by the Albany Symphony for a piece
    composed by Chris Kapica, to be worn by the
    dancer/choreographer.  I was able to build this code
    with the help of and using components from 'Eight':
    http://www.64ox.com/2010/11/28/read-rc-rx-with-an-arduino/
    and 'dianaeng':
