Arduino Sketch    MP_SimpleConfig


/*
MP_SimpleConfig
Performs simple MakerPlot configuration from Arduino

Sends Configuration information to MakerPlot for a basic plot.
Reads analog value, uses switches to set the setpoint
lighting an LED is above setpoint.
Plots analog values of input and setpoint and
digital values of switches and LED state.
 
 The circuit:
 * potentiometer connected to A0.
   Center pin of the potentiometer goes to the analog pin.
   side pins of the potentiometer go to +5V and ground
 * LED connected from digital D9 to ground
 * Pushbutton swithes on D2 and D3 going to ground.
