I'm not sure why printStatus() doesn't require a argument when called, but
that's what they used in the documentation
(http://beagleboard.org/support/BoneScript/analogRead/) and I have used it
for a single data point and it worked. I believe analogRead passes in the
argument x into printStatus for you.
Yeah, I was thinking that the asynchronous/callback nature of javascript is
the problem for this but I was wondering how to circumvent it.
