+/***************************
+* John W. Leimgruber III
+* Test Application
+* 1. Read analog value from LM34 temperature sensor and convert to deg Fahrenheit
+* 2. Filter using 3-tap median sampling every 1/3 second
+* 3. Append to local flash filesystem log file every 512 seconds
+* 4. Externally, use a python program I wrote based on matplotlib to grab and parse updated log file then display graphical plot
