Hmm. I thought both would have shown up in the search.

The problem is that it raises havoc to change the service name, so I
left that much alone. (This way, when you use the updater, the proper
activity is updated.) But I made the name change itself at the request
of the original author. There are about to be 2-3 more activities in
the family: TurtleArduino, TurtleArtWithSensors, to name two.

Projects should be generally interchangeable between all versions.
