_5_5_FindRandomTarget

/* Random Number Match
 - WHAT IT DOES: Loops while:
 - Generate random number 0..4999
 - Looks for match with Target
 - If Match, blink "Found" LED
 - increment an int counter
 - when int counter overflows:
   - blink "Recycle LED"
   - Reset int counter = 0
   - increment Recycle counter
 - When Recycle counter = 5, END
 
 - SEE the comments after "//" on each line below
 - CONNECTIONS:
 - "FOUNDIT_PIN" LED and resistor on pin 10
 - "RECYCLE_PIN" LED and resistor on pin 11
 - V1.05 02/23/2015
