- converted branch to the indigo-devel code
- added missing ubiquity_motor.cpp
- changed logging from the output speeds to the input speeds
- whoops, fotgot to remove typedef for chrono
- removed boost_chrono dependency, less dependencies is better right
- explictly apt-get boost-chrono
- manually installing boost in travis
- changed travis notfications for slack
- Fix issue where serial data wouldn't print
Using a pointer for the motors object in the Motor Serial class, this allows for the initalization to be in the constructer.
