+  SD card datalogger
+ 
+ This example shows how to log data from three analog sensors 
+ to an SD card mounted on the Linux using the Bridge library.
+ 	
+ The circuit:
+ * analog sensors on analog ins 0, 1, and 2
+ * SD card attached to SD card slot of the Arduino Yun
+ 
+ You are allowed to remove the SD card while the Linux and the 
+ sketch is running but becareful to don't remove it while
+ the system is writing on it.
