/* Knock Sensor
* by DojoDave <http://www.0j0.org>
*
* Program using a Piezo element as if it was a knock sensor.
*
* We have to basically listen to an analog pin and detect
* if the signal goes over a certain threshold. It writes
* "knock" to the serial port if the Threshold is crossed,
* and toggles the LED on pin 13.
