BeeMail Code, First Circuit Test

//This code is testing code for the circut to make sure all of the
//physical Arduino I/O is working. It checks a potentiometer or other
//sensors on the AO PIN and equates it to the future number of mails
//in the inbox.

int beePins[beeTotalNumber] = {9, 10, 11 };

//INPUTS AND THEIR VARIABLES
int howManyNewEmails = 0;

//the number of emails the bees hit maximum freakout.
//ideally it should be divisible by the number of
//beeActivityLevels
int maxBeeVar = 640;

//how many different states the Bees can be in
const int beeActivityLevels = 16;

//the total number of bees bing controlled
const int beeTotalNumber = 3;

//the number of emails the bees hit maximum freakout.
//ideally it should be divisible by the number of
//beeActivityLevels
int maxBeeVar = 640;

//The area that dictates the 16 BeeActivityLevels.
