- Method Detail
  - getManufacturer
```
HardwareDevice.Manufacturer getManufacturer()
```
    Returns an indication of the manufacturer of this device.
    
    Returns:
    
    the device's manufacturer
  - getDeviceName
```
String getDeviceName()
```
    Returns a string suitable for display to the user as to the type of device. Note that this is a device-type-specific name; it has nothing to do with the name by which a user might have configured the device in a robot configuration.
    
    Returns:
    
    device manufacturer and name
  - getConnectionInfo
```
String getConnectionInfo()
```
    Get connection information about this device in a human readable format
    
    Returns:
    
    connection info
  - getVersion
```
int getVersion()
```
    Version
    
    Returns:
    
    get the version of this device
  - resetDeviceConfigurationForOpMode
```
void resetDeviceConfigurationForOpMode()
```
    Resets the device's configuration to that which is expected at the beginning of an OpMode. For example, motors will reset the their direction to 'forward'.
  - close
```
void close()
```
    Closes this device
