Progam to drive the haptic glove
/* Haptic Glove Reads 15 bytes-long command (encoding the level and the duration of the 5 vibration motors connected to the Arduino' PWM pins) and vibrate during the duration the motors. Vibration Motor, sku: ROB-08449 http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8449 http://www.sparkfun.com/products/8468 "With a 2-3.6V operating range, these units shake crazily at 3V"

Input format is 5 groups of 3 hexadecimal characters one group per motor first char is the vibration level (F is Max) second char is the vibration level setted after the duration (0 to stop vibration) third char is the duration of the vibration (value is char * 16 * COEF milliseconds) Test by sending the following inputs with the serial monitor
