1.6.1 (2018-04-21)
- Build and install gtest as part of CI
 
- Update README with instructions for building and running unit tests
 
- Remove external cmake project for gtest
Now only build tests if a gtest installation already exists on the system. This should expedite time to build for users that do not care about building/running unit tests and also eliminates the need for internet access when building.
 
- Add test depend to gtest in package.xml
 
- Contributors: Jacob Perron

- Remove redundant packets from Data constructor
 
- Updated setDigits function API comments
 
- added HTML to adjust for spacing in diagram, showing the proper ordering of segments.
 
 
 
- Update examples
 
- More concise and focusing on individual features:
 
- Battery level
 
- Bumpers
