Bricklet API suggestion

[JavaLaurence]

Currently, the TF implementation lets us instantiate a Bricklet object for a Bricklet which physically doesn't exist, either by passing a wrong UID, or by passing the "right" UID, but not having the Bricklet physically connected.

 

In either case, would it not be preferable to fail-early by having the constructor blow up with

 

throw new IllegalArgumentException("Bricklet not present: " + uid);

 

?

 

This suggestion does not require an API change, only an implementation change (and updated docs).
