Software v02
This is the Version 2 software for the Madlab Storage system. The headers are equivalent to new tabs in the Arduino environment.
Changes are only to the pin numbers for the buttons and lock pins.

Database Functions:
Entry Specific:
int entryPointer (int entryID) - returns the pointer in EEPROM of an entry at entryID
void writeEntry (byte entryW[], int entryID) - writes entryW at entryID
boolean readEntry (int entryID) - reads an entry at entryID and returns true if an entry is present
boolean compEntry (byte entryA[], byte entryB[]) - compares entryA and entryB and returns true if the same
int findEntry (byte entryF[]) - finds entryF in database and returns entryID
boolean addEntry (byte entryA[]) - adds entryA to database
void delEntry (int entryID) - deletes an entry at entryID and defrags database
Header Specific:
void writeHead () - writes a new Header
boolean readHead () - reads a header, returns true if present, false if not
boolean updateHead () - updates the header, returns false if no header present, true if update successful
boolean createHead () - creates a header, returns false if one already present, true if one created
*/
/**************************************************************
These 4 definitions can be changed as needed.
HEADER_P is the pointer for where the header should be placed
in the eeprom
HBYTE is the identifying byte that is used for identifying the
header in the EEPROM - to completely wipe a currently saved
database this number is all that needs to be changed and
uploaded.
EBYTE is the identifying byte that is used for identifying
entries in the EEPROM. Changing this without first wiping the
database will result in loosing entries - especially if data
is already stored within the EEPROM.
MAXMEM is the maximum number of bytes that the database can
take up - keep this equal to or less than the maximum EEPROM
memory of the Arduino.
