public interface IDemoBoard
extends IDriver, IADCController, ISwitchController, ITriColorLEDController, IServoController, IGPIOController, ILightSensorController, IToneGeneratorController

Definition of the generic interface for a SunSPOT demo board. Brings in the implemented upstream interfaces, as well as defining a few convienence methods that are specific to the DemoBoards. Controller interfaces use a model of interaction that allows for behaviours of the controlled functionality to be modified by implementing the accessor interfaces. The end user is meant to request on of these accessor objects and then use their methods to interact with the Controller. The implementor of the Controller should also be responsible for implementing the accessor object as these concrete classes are assumed to be tightly bound. At the same time it is possible to call the methods that actually implement the low level behaviour in the controller, this is generally disuaded, however there are circumstances where the user may want to bypass the sanity checking in order to reduce the latency as much as possible.
