possibly better function names would be glove_init() and glove_sample()
Also, the byte that I called "dum9" seems to be used to tell if the glove
is not aimed at the receivers.  
-----

  We use init_glove() and query_glove(), if we are comparing.  But I don't understand about the 'dum9'.. how does the glove know if it is not pointing to sensors?  I never knew it could do that.  Is that the same as receiving bad data?
