/*
  Conditionals - while statement
 
 This example demonstrates the use of  while() statements.
 
 It reads the state of a potentiometer (an analog input) and blinks an LED
 while the LED remains above a certain threshold level. It prints the analog value
 only if it's below the threshold.
 
 This example uses principles explained in the BlinkWithoutDelay  example as well.
 
 The circuit:
 * potentiometer connected to analog pin 0.
 Center pin of the potentiometer goes to the analog pin.
 side pins of the potentiometer go to +5V and ground
 * LED connected from digital pin 13 to ground
 
 * Note: On most Arduino boards, there is already an LED on the board
 connected to pin 13, so you don't need any extra components for this example.
