/*
  Conditionals - while statement
 
 This example demonstrates the use of  while() statements.
 
 While the pushbutton is pressed, the sketch runs the calibration routine.
 The  sensor readings during the while loop define the minimum and maximum 
 of expected values from the photo resistor.
 
 This is a variation on the calibrate example.
 
 The circuit:
 * photo resistor connected from +5V to analog in pin 0
 * 10K resistor connected from ground to analog in pin 0
 * LED connected from digital pin 9 to ground through 220 ohm resistor
 * pushbutton attached from pin 2 to +5V
 * 10K resistor attached from pin 2 to ground
