[ros-users] ccny: asctec_autopilot serial interface communication

[Bill Morris]

I'm not at the lab at the moment, but as far as I know the master branch
should be working. You may also want to look at the experimental branch
which is getting closer to release. Also, I should have debian packages
out by Friday.

One thing to watch out for with the XBee interface is that the maximum
polling frequency is lower.
