#Abstract class for inputs.  Inheriting classes should call "respond" to raise
#their event.  Inheriting classes MUST define sensingLoop.  Called at the
#interval specified in RefreshInterval while the input is active.  For example, if you are writing
#webserver, this is where the loop should go.
#Inheriting classes MAY define inputInit.  This is called before the loop
#begins.
