    <p>UPM is a high level repository for sensors that use MRAA. Each
    sensor links to MRAA and are not meant to be interlinked although
    some groups of sensors may be. Each sensor contains a header which
    allows to interface with it. Typically a sensor is represented as a
    class and instantiated.</p> 

    <p>The constructor is expected to initialise the sensor and parameters
    may be used to provide identification/pin location on the board.</p> 

    <p>Typically an update() function will be called in order to get new
    data from the sensor in order to reduce load when doing multiple reads
    to sensor data.</p>
