State of a fictional IoT-enabled Ice cream machine
The machine runs with an STM32F4 MCU; The Nucleo-F410RB was chosen as the device for implementation, it has serial communication, several digital outputs and 16 channel 12-bit ADC

Operation: Ice cream dispenser arm sensor provides 0-3.3 V (assumed based on operating voltage 
    of MCU) to one ADC pin on STM32F4 MCU. Voltage is based on position of dispenser arm. 
- voltage > 1.65V implies the arm is pressed down 
- voltage < 1.65V implies the arm is released 
To prevent rapid switching, hysteresis is introduced with a count function, if arm has been pressed down for more than 5 seconds, the digital output will go high.

Requirements:
1. Read ADC value and print over serial port
2. Digital output pin high if voltage>1.65V
3. Digital output pin low if voltage <1.65V

Assumptions:
1. The code can run at a low speed as ice cream machines do not dispense ice cream quickly 
2. Low accuracy and low resolution due to nature of ice cream machine dispensing arms

Additional features
1. Temperature of ice cream mixture is important, assume temperature sensor can provide analogue 
    voltage to MCU
2. Level of ice cream mix in machine is important, assume a sensor can detect when the mixture drops 
    below a certain level, also be analogue voltage sensor output

ADC data on MCU: 
Value from 0.0 to 1.0, depending on input voltage between 0.0V and 
3.3V; ADC default settings
