* Swapped out the hub with Oni's.  It's much nicer, so we should try to find another similar.
* At Jonty's suggestion, swapped out Bifferboard for his spare

* We've put it in its own plastic case

***maybe we should power it off the main 5V supply, but arrange to switch it off when USB power goes away. Then it would reset with the bifferboard.
