 - move switches down box so they aren't spread out into gasket rim area
 
+- add another 2-pin header to PA8 (MCO) so we can sample the master clock to
+  calibrate the SOC oscillator, which means moving the RED RF strength LED to
+  some other gpio line

+- The more I think about this project, the more I want to go back to a board
+  that just does one each load cell and pressure sensor.  I just haven't ever
+  actually used anything else.
+
+  Discussion with Joe Bowen made it clear that if I were to design such a 
+  board so that it could take option cards, and/or had just a pile of basic
+  analog inputs and maybe switch outputs available, that doing other stuff
+  could be fun, and we'd "grow the system as we need to".  Every time I tried
+  to pin him down on specs, all I got was vagueness.

+- Maybe the right answer is to move to the ADS131A02 which is the 2-channel
+  version of the acquisition chip, and costs less.  That would support one
+  pressure sensor and one load cell.  Then make it possible to add on other
+  acquisition boards somehow.
