/* ------------------------- Analog Start -----------------------
*
* Hardware Setup- a voltage divider connected to analog pin A5:
* 1) -Wire a photoresister between +5vdc and an empty row on the breadboard
* 2) -Wire a 10k resistor between that same row on the breadboard to ground.
* 3) -Jumper wire from that same row to analog pin A5
*
* -Note: This sketch introduces the map() function for scaling values
*-------------------------------------------------------------------------*/
