RobotIO(String)	Constructs an instance using a serial port name, 57600 baud rate and data terminal ready as false.
RobotIO(String, Int32, Boolean)	Constructs an instance using a serial port name, baud rate and data terminal ready settings.

Analog	Allows for configuring of analog input, and exposing analog readings.
ColourSensor	Reports values read using TCS34725 sensor.
ConnectionState	Informs the connected state of the computer with the Arduino.
Digital	Exposes digital input readings.
Display	Sends text output to the LCD display.
LedDisplay	Writes a string to the 7 segment LED display.
Motor1	Controls speed and direction of motor 1.
Motor2	Controls speed and direction of motor 2.
MotorConfig	Configuration options for DC motors.
PulseCounter	Calculates period of input pulses on a designated Arduino pin.
Servo1	Sets the range and position of servo motor 1.
Servo2	Sets the range and position of servo motor 2.
Servo3	Sets the range and position of servo motor 3.
Servo4	Sets the range and position of servo motor 4.
ServoConfig	Configuration options for servo motors.
Sonar	Uses sonar to calculate distance by sending a ping and measuring the time lapsed before receiving the echo.
Switch1	Sets a digital output to on or off.
Switch2	Sets a digital output to on or off.
Switch3	Sets a digital output to on or off.
Switch4	Sets a digital output to on or off.
Trigger	A digital trigger for generating repeating pulse cycle patterns.

Close	Closes connection with Arduino. DC motors and servo motors will be disabled, the digital trigger and digital switches will turn off, and the LED display will clear.
Connect	Initiates serial connection with Arduino using port and baud rates specified in constructor.
Dispose	Closes connection with the Arduino and releases resources.
Dispose(Boolean)	Closes connection with the Arduino and releases resources.
GetIRCommand	Gets the value and pressed state of an IR command button if one has been received by pressing a button on an IR remote control.
NotifyClosing	The method should be called in the main application to signal to background threads monitoring property IsClosing that they should terminate gracefully.
