/*

  The IdIoTWare Shield uses Touchpad attached to pin 4.
  
  The IdIoTWare Shield uses a addressable  RGB LED to display a spectrum of colors.
  The CGShield library abstracts the details and provides 
  you the following function:
  
    color(RED, GREEN, BLUE);   // three arguments are the pixel color, expressed as red, 
                               // green and blue brightness levels, 
                               // where 0 is dimmest (off) and 255 is maximum brightness (0-255).
                               // for example to set RED color, color(255,0,0);
  
  In this example, WS2812 Led changes its color as we toch the touchpad.
