## Branched off pyuarm-2.4.x
Latest features: - Added firmware detection to get_uarm() to allow this code to be used to talk to both uArm Metal and uArm Swift devices. See protocol.py and swift_protocol.py and uarm.py for most of the details about this. - method variables added to allow for continued expansion of the package to other future USB VIDs and uArm firmware.
- I've otherwise tried to mess with the code as little as possible since the ROS uarm package uses this as its driver interface to the uArm device.
- Tested successfully with a uArm Swift and uArm Metal running Ubuntu 14.04 using ROS Indigo.
Feedback/testing/PRs, etc. requested, Advice and assistance gladly given, but safety requires avoiding unnecessary conversation.
