/*
Header file for Shooting mechanism.
 
Takes dutyCycle as a float and converts it t oduty cycle.
When off- dutyCycle is just switched to 0 duty cycle.

IMPORTANT: need to convert back to dutycycle=0, when not used!! 

Possible improvements:
-Convert program so when it's off the pins are completely off???  
-Caclutalate better time for the waits???
-maybe change the period??

TESTED AND WORKING - 06/03
