so - it seems to be running pretty well now the only issue that I see is 
every so often it doesn't seem to create the pins correctly.  (I get)

Waiting for component 'arduino' to become ready......................
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/bin/arduino", line 79, in <module
     c['digital-in-%02d' % pinmap[port]] = b != 0
IndexError: list index out of range

seems to happen when you close the halvcp and then rerun the hal hal 
file.  But not very consistant.  Like 5% of the time.

But other than that - it is almost 100% and I normally would not be 
starting and stoping the thing that often.  It would be loaded when emc 
starts and stay running the whole time.

All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure 
contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, 
security threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this
