/*
 * Ping
 * ====
 * Adapted from a program by Dave Chen and Simen Svale Skogsrud
 * 
 * This program assumes that the light sensor is on IN_2 and
 * that it points in the same direction as the infrared connection
 * on the robot. It beeps when the robot gets close to an obstacle.
 * This is done by repeatedly sending IR messages. These cause a
 * large fluctuation in light intensity.
 * 
 * This is a nice mechanism to find a close by wall without bumping
 * in to it.
