No real reason Cameron, and thank you for mentioning it, other than 
non-blocking reads have always worked, providing there's only one in an 
infinite loop. The dashboard code uses  what could be described as a 
semi-blocking read; it blocks for a preset time. This is useful because 
the same pico code can be used with it's own display and with or without 
a serial a connection.
