+ Esplora Joystick Mouse
+
+ This sketch shows you how to read the joystick and use it to control the movement
+ of the cursor on your computer. You're making your Esplora into a mouse!
+
+ WARNING: this sketch will take over your mouse movement. If you lose control
+ of your mouse do the following:
+ 1) unplug the Esplora.
+ 2) open the EsploraBlink sketch
+ 3) hold the reset button down while plugging your Esplora back in
+ 4) while holding reset, click "Upload"
+ 5) when you see the message "Done compiling", release the reset button.
+
+ This will stop your Esplora from controlling your mouse while you upload a sketch
+ that doesn't take control of the mouse.
