            Modules added in the Program.gadgeteer designer view are used by typing
            their name followed by a period, e.g.  button.  or  camera.

            Many modules generate useful events. Type +=<tab><tab> to add a handler to an event, e.g.:
                button.ButtonPressed +=<tab><tab>

            If you want to do something periodically, use a GT.Timer and handle its Tick event, e.g.:
                GT.Timer timer = new GT.Timer(1000); // every second (1000ms)
                timer.Tick +=<tab><tab>
                timer.Start();

            timer.Tick += new GT.Timer.TickEventHandler(timer_Tick);

            // start the timer robot running
            timer.Start();

            // Use Debug.Print to show messages in Visual Studio's "Output" window during debugging.
            Debug.Print("Program Started");

                multicolorLed.SetGreenIntensity(incrementCount);
