if (val > target) { // 06/09/2010 if the temperature is higher than target increase the count
count++;}
if (count > 10) { // 06/09/2010 ?? If the count is greater than 10?
digitalWrite(heatled, LOW); // 06/09/2010 turns off the heating element
delay (2000); // 06/09/2010 pauses for 2 secs
count=0;} // 06/09/2010 resets the count
