/*
  Esplora Led calibration

 This  sketch shows you how to read and calibrate the light sensor.
 Because light levels vary from one location to another, you need to calibrate the
 sensor for each location. To do this, you read the sensor for a few seconds,
 and save the highest and lowest readings as maximum and minimum.
 Then, when you're using the sensor's reading (for example, to set the brightness
 of the LED), you map the sensor's reading to a range between the minimum
 and the maximum.

  // using the calibration min and max:
