serial.js originally had a lot more logic but I accidentally deleted the file.

essentially it would read in sensor values and compute a running average of the last 50 values. This smoothed out the input from the linear potentiometer that was hooked up to the arduino since the input values were pretty chaotic.

It would then pipe that running average in to socket.io
