/ UAV::Pilot::WumpusRover::Packet

NAME

  UAV::Pilot::WumpusRover::Packet

DESCRIPTION

Role for WumpusRover packets. These are based on the ArduPilot protocol packets, as described here:

http://code.google.com/p/ardupilot-mega/wiki/Protocol

No attempts have yet been made to test this against an existing ArduPilot implmentation, but it should be close.

Do not create Packets directly. Instead, use UAV::Pilot::WumpusRover::PacketFactory.

Does the UAV::Pilot::Logger role.
