Gamoto Serial OOPic Example
'This program is a simple example of using the OOPic
'to control a Gamoto, over the serial line
'
'It cycles the position setpoint from 0 to 254 and back to 0
'again, and repeats.
'
'This example doesn't read any data from the Gamoto, not even
'the "ACK" response, but this could easily be added, to confirm
'the command was received.

const setPosition = 47 'Gamoto register address

dim cs as byte 'checksum byte
