ORP Sample Code

TM

//This code was written to be easy to understand.

//Code efficiency was not considered.
//Modify this code as you see fit.
//This code will output data to the Arduino serial monitor.
//Type commands into the Arduino serial monitor to control the ORP circuit.
//This code was written in the Arduino 1.6.5 IDE
//An Arduino UNO was used to test this code.
