polargraph_server_polarshield 1.10

Added MSG (message, not flavour enhancer) string prefix to some outgoing communications to allow the controller to sensibly parse and display the message. Added a #define USE_LCD to be able to turn off the touch-detection routines. They go a bit daft when there's no screen attached. I'm sure there's a way to detect if a screen is connected automatically. But that's not happening yet.

polargraph_server_a1 1.9

As above, but slightly less verbose (no room on the board for chatting!).

polargraphcontroller 1.9

Displays certain kinds of messages that come in from the connected machine. This is a debugging feature really.
