This is the dpty utility. It is used to validate the functionality of
the "roibot" python module, in particular, individual controller
component commands for the module.
Benefits:
o You can outline code without needing to have the robot on hand,
and refine it later on the actual device.
o If the robot has parts missing, you can still code.
o If the robot keeps tripping the GFI for a 20A circuit because it
really needs 30A, you can still code.
o You can mostly work at your desk, rather than in the cold, cold
lab while a bunch of construction people run around.
TODO: Support scripted rather than interactive input; to achieve this
for discrete script snippits, it will be necessary to connect
and reconnect on the master side; this is probably most easily
accomplished via a socket.
