Hi Luis,

I just gave a couple of examples of the micro-sensor interface. Obviously
that is only part of the system. Developing the method and s/w took a lot
longer than designing a few PCBs. What Chris described is very similar to
my implementation, except I use assembler. The nett result is that the
core knows at all times what is connected (h/w is Plug And Play / hot-
swappable) and what the functions and ranges of each module are. The
modules can also talk to each other BTW and execute some simple
commands without further instruction from the core, but do report their
activity to it
