HardwareControl vs HardwareButton

[trevormeier]

Just starting in to the hardware API after doing some JavaScript to get familiar with the basics. To start I’m working with a LaunchControl XL. It has hardware elements (buttons and knobs) that have multi-Color LEDs.

In cases like this, is it better to instantiate hardware elements as a HardwareControl? Or should I start with separate elements like HardwareButton and the various types of lights?

HardwareButton is a sub-class of HardwareControl. HardwareControl cannot be instantiated.
