+ \subsection{Recommendations}
+
+ \begin{itemize}
+
+ \item Better error reporting. If a sensor quits,
+ it would be helpful to shut it down in the software,
+ such that the software could operate as if the
+ sensor were ``unplugged'' from the sensorboard.
+ The HLSensor interface could be really helpful here,
+ especially if there was some hardware support for it.
+
+
+ \item Small amount of flash on the sensor board,
+ enough to store UUID and serial number. It would
+ be nice (actually, it will be essential in the
+ future) to be able to query the board to find out
+ it's capabilities, and all this could be burnt
+ into flash (or whatever).
+
+ \item External serial number on board. It's really
+ hard to keep track of working versus non-working
+ boards.
