| 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. |
