The aim of this exercise is to use analogue input devices within a Flowcode flowchart.

Digital inputs are simpler to deal with, as they have a finite range of possible values.
For example, a two bit digital input can have one of only four possible values - 00, 01, 10 or 11.
Flowcode uses an 'Input' icon Btn Input.gif to deal with digital inputs.

An analogue input, on the other hand can have any of an infinite number of possible values.
As a result, it is more difficult to handle in Flowcode. A component macro Btn Component Macro.gif is used to input data from an analogue sensor.
