TCP streaming driver. More...

TCP streaming driver.

The tcpstream driver is based on the serialstream driver. It reads from a socket continuously and publishes the data. Currently this is usable with the SickS3000 driver and the Nav200 driver. This driver does no interpretation of data output, merely reading it and publishing it, or, if it is sent a data command it will write whatever it recieves to the socket.
