* The Main part of the bluetooth input/output thread.
* It sends the arduino the "data" command for it to begin sending data.
* Then, it repeatedly calls the getWholeValue method which is responsible for reading the data from the arduino.
* Every 100 milliSeconds it invokes a UI update method on the MainThread.
* when the askToQuit flag is updated to false (in the MainThread), it stops reading data from the arduino,
* sends it a "end" command, and clears the bluetooth buffer.
