Solutions Cubed motor controller.

The motionmind driver is for communicating with a Solutions Cubed "Motion Mind" PID motor controller while it is in serial PID mode. Multiple boards can be daisy chained together and different drivers used for each one by simply giving each driver the address of the board that it is commanding. This driver allows for simple absolute position commands and publishes the position of the device as well.
