/** 
 * Serial Call-Response 
 * by Tom Igoe. 
 * 
 * Sends a byte out the serial port, and reads 3 bytes in. 
 * Sets foregound color, xpos, and ypos of a circle onstage
 * using the values returned from the serial port. 
 * Thanks to Daniel Shiffman  and Greg Shakar for the improvements.
 * 
 * Note: This sketch assumes that the device on the other end of the serial
 * port is going to send a single byte of value 65 (ASCII A) on startup.
 * The sketch waits for that byte, then sends an ASCII A whenever
 * it wants more data.

//  Serial Call and Response
//  by Tom Igoe

//  This program sends an ASCII A (byte of value 65) on startup
//  and repeats that until it gets some data in.
//  Then it waits for a byte in the serial port, and 
//  sends three sensor values whenever it gets a byte in.
