Battery voltage monitor

Decimus has one of the ADC inputs dedicated to monitoring the battery voltage. The batteries used in this micromouse are Lithium Polymer cells and it is particularly important that they are not allowed to discharge too far. Since the full battery voltage is about 7.4 Volts, this gets divided by four in a simple resistive divider before being sampled by the ADC.
