 - Commits must be named `<file/module>: Some decent description`.
 - You must license your module under a FOSS license. The recommended license
   is MIT but any permissive license is fine. Please consider that people using
   UPM may want to write proprietary programs with your sensors so we like to
   avoid GPL. If your license is not MIT please include a LICENSE file in
   src/mymodule/.

 - Please test your module builds before contributing and make sure it works on
   the latest version of libmraa. If you tested on a specific board/platform
   please tell us what this was in your PR.
