Major Changes in Rflex_20130228 (First hardware v2 support)

- all sensors and signals are routed as RS232, optionally over Ethernet using a serial-to-ethernet interface. We use an 8-port Moxa.
- Stepper motor control has been moved from the computer (remote) to the platform (local) side of operations. An Arduino receives instructions from a PC over RS232 and sends TTL signals to the stetpper motor driver.
- Power supplies have been bundled into one supply in the deck box
- Each sensor communicates over a separate COM port
- Implementation cost was reduced by removing a separate serial buffer and power supply
- Support for remote operation (PC on network) is now feasible.
