/*
 * rosserial Clapper Example
 *
 * This code is a very simple example of the kinds of
 * custom sensors that you can easily set up with rosserial
 * and Arduino.  This code uses a microphone attached to
 * analog pin 5 detect two claps (2 loud sounds).
 * You can use this clapper, for example, to command a robot
 * in the area to come do your bidding.
