Click-to-Tick

Things moving too fast to easily debug? The Click-to-Tick feature lets you control the clock via the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE.

To enable Click-to-Tick, specify it in the EngineOptions when starting the engine:

engine.start(Kywy::EngineOptions().clickToTick(true));

After doing this the clock will not send TICK events unless you send some input in the Serial Monitor (click the Serial Monitor button in the top right, click on the text box in the Serial Monitor at the bottom, type a message, hit Enter to send).

The commands available are:

`tick` - causes the clock to send 1 `TICK` event
