+ \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.
