### Description
This driver communicates over UART with the [Roboclaw motor driver](http://downloads.basicmicro.com/docs/roboclaw_user_manual.pdf).
It performs two tasks:
- Control the motors based on the `actuator_controls_0` UOrb topic.
- Read the wheel encoders and publish the raw data in the `wheel_encoders` UOrb topic
In order to use this driver, the Roboclaw should be put into Packet Serial mode (see the linked documentation), and
your flight controller's UART port should be connected to the Roboclaw as shown in the documentation. For Pixhawk 4,
use the `UART & I2C B` port, which corresponds to `/dev/ttyS3`.
### Implementation
The main loop of this module (Located in `RoboClaw.cpp::task_main()`) performs 2 tasks:
1. Write `actuator_controls_0` messages to the Roboclaw as they become available
2. Read encoder data from the Roboclaw at a constant, fixed rate.
Because of the latency of UART, this driver does not write every single `actuator_controls_0` message to the Roboclaw
immediately. Instead, it is rate limited based on the parameter `RBCLW_WRITE_PER`.
On startup, this driver will attempt to read the status of the Roboclaw to verify that it is connected. If this fails,
the driver terminates immediately.
### Examples
The command to start this driver is:
$ roboclaw start <device> <baud>
`<device>` is the name of the UART port. On the Pixhawk 4, this is `/dev/ttyS3`.
`<baud>` is te baud rate.
All available commands are:
- `$ roboclaw start <device> <baud>`
- `$ roboclaw status`
- `$ roboclaw stop`
