This should return a menu with all options for the connected device. This should include:
* Changing controller and reference parameters
* Starting and stopping
* Printout of sensor data (to be used for debugging)
* Adding and removing items for logging
* Logging features (start logging, log interval and retrieve log in a MATLAB compatible format)
* Save and load to and from EEPROM (holds logging parameters and controller setting)

Introduction

This is the main page of Flexbot. Here you will find all information and instructions related to the Flexbot project.

Figure 1. Nice model of a Flexbot leg. The green parts are the main joints, foot, knee and hip. The black tubes are 16mm carbon fibre tubes, at the ends there are black plastic blocks, that connects the tube to the joint axle. The aluminium colourized parts are actuators and the base frame of the robot. The layout of the main joints are slightly outdated.
