+// Volatge discovery. Determines what the voltage of the christmas lights is.
+//
+// This is done by using channel 0 of the ADC (which is on pin PA4). There is a
+// voltage divider from the main power source to pin PA4 which uses a 4.7MOhm
+// resistor and a 470KOhm resistor to divide the voltage by 10, which may then
+// be turned into a reading on the ADC.
+//
+// This helps to determine if the lights being driven are WS2812b's or WS2811 as
+// the latter are run on 12v and use RGB instead of GRB byte order.
