+/* TURNING THE KNOB (ARDUINO)
+ *
+ * Here we connect a potentiometer (variable resistor) to
+ * the analog pin 3 of our Arduino to control the state
+ * of an LED connected to pin 13 and also to send the
+ * value via the serial connection to a processing sketch.
+ *
+ * The value we get from an analog pin is ranging from
+ * 0 to 1023 (10 Bit). In order to send it as one Byte
+ * (8 Bit) we have to scale the incomming value using
+ * the map() function.
+ *
+ * NOTE: You can use the same code for many different
+ * types of variable resistors (e.g. photo resistor,
+ * bend sensor, etc.)
