 // If there are any change requirements in the future, the signal must be checked with an osciloscope again,
 // ad-hoc changes may completely screw things up!
 
+// 2020-01-29 update: we are introducing a new option to the automaton that will allow us to force the output state
+// to either full ON or OFF. This is so that interference during the MBL probing is minimal.
+// To accomplish this goal we use bedPWMDisabled. It is only supposed to be used for brief periods of time as to
+// not make the bed temperature too unstable. Also, careful consideration should be used when using this
+// option as leaving this enabled will also keep the bed output in the state it stopped in.
