+  Esplora Table
+
+  Acts like a keyboard that prints some of its sensors'
+  data in a table-like text, row by row.
+  It is a sort of "data-logger".
+  
+  At startup, it does nothing. It just waits for you to open a
+  spreadsheet (e.g. Google Drive spreadsheet) so it can put its
+  data. Then, by pressing Switch 1, it starts printing the table
+  headers and the first row of data. It waits a bit, then it
+  will print another row, and so on.
+  
+  The amount of time between each row is given by the slider.
+  If put to full left, the sketch will wait 10 seconds; at
+  full right position, it will wait 5 minutes. An intermediate
+  position will make the sketch wait for some time in-between.
+  
+  Clicking the Switch 1 at any time will stop the logging.
+
+  The color LED shows what the sketch is doing:
+  blue  = idle, waiting for you to press Switch 1 to start logging
+  green = active; will print soon
+  red   = printing data to the PC
