/* Door state monitoring logic for Arduino Duemilanove
 *
 * This script periodically reads the state of a reed switch
 * (REED_SWITCH_INPUT_PIN) to determine the locked state of door.
 *
 * The switch sometimes reports the wrong state for brief periods of time.
 * This script filters out these quick changes. A counter
 * (measured_state_counter) is decremented or incremented within a range
 * from 0 to MAX_COUNTER depending on the state of the reed switch in each
 * iteration of the loop. The reported state (reported_state via
 * RED_LED_OUTPUT_PIN and GREEN_LED_OUTPUT_PIN) is only changed, if the counter
 * reaches its lower (0 to LOWER_THRESHOLD) or upper end (UPPER_THRESHOLD to
 * MAX_COUNTER). The scripts also reports when the state counter is between the
 * lower and upper end (YELLOW_LED_OUTPUT_PIN).
 *
 * State counter and reported state are written to the serial port in each
 * iteration for debugging purposes.
