/*
Smoothing
Reads repeatedly from an analog input, calculating a running average
and printing it to the computer. Keeps ten readings in an array and
continually averages them.
The circuit:
* Analog sensor (potentiometer will do) attached to analog input 0

// Define the number of samples to keep track of. The higher the number,

// respond to the input. Using a constant rather than a normal variable lets
// use this value to determine the size of the readings array.

// read from the sensor:
