 - changing the 5V switcher from S8 to MS8 takes us from 5 tall to 3 tall, but
   costs $0.30 more per piece and isn't stocked by Digikey.  Not worth it?
 
+- noticed the NXP SC18IS600, which is an SPI slave to I2C master interface
+  with a few GPIO lines...  mate that with an HMC5843, which is a 3-axis
+  magnetic sensor, and we might have another interesting companion board for TM
