46 // The Baud rate is 2400 , one start bit, eight data bits, 1 stop bit,
49 // For position it requires a 3-byte data packet defined as follows:
51 // First bite: ascII character "P" ( 0x50 or 80 decimal )
52 // Second byte X pos. (1-255) 1 being 0* and 255 being 359*
53 // Third byte Y pos.( 1-255) 1 being 0* and 255 359*
55 // So sending 80 127 127 to the two axis motors will position on 180*
