    In conjunction with an Android application (Synaptics RED), this allows
    the PC-based Design Studio 4 configuration and diagnostic tool to access
    the RMI4 sensor via USB, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc. We figured it might also
    be useful to the general development community, so we included it here.
