[PD] pduino test patch: "old analog/digital controls"

[olsen]

heho

i just put my attempt for a solution considering this pin numbering confusion into github:
https://github.com/reduzent/pduino
take a look if time and leisure permitting - I'm herewith opening the suggestion box!

thanks in advance & salutis
