I'm thinking of buttons in game controllers that respond differently
depending on how hard you push them (pressure sensitive). They're
analog in the sense that they aren't simply on/off.
I bring this up because some people here at Stanford are exploring
the idea of using TinyOS as a user interface prototyping platform,
and they definitely deal with analog buttons.
