// PESKY FLAW! Filename is not terryPin.ino, it is ServoCUBEvideosMS—4.ino, possibly
// 328 storing this sketch is off UNO, on independent veroboard so made some changes
// Yellow LED (blue in wokwi) is now lit from A0, not D7
// Kept the serial output for testing
// Need to be able to test with shorter KA interval, so added physical switch
// D4 input from switch sets KA interval to 5s (for test) or 160s in normal use
// Takes 'keep alive' (KA) photo with one servo press every 2m40s (160s)
// The low-going leading EDGE of the 20s outputfrom motion sensor is D6 input.
// That's the major change from earlier LED emulation version
// It causes two servo presses on CUBE button, starting a video recording
// (and lighting red LED as an indicator)
