Can't look past the USB to serial convertor into the RoboClaw itself #4

When the interface to the RoboClaw was the USB and the USB condition was a function of the state of RoboClaw (e.g. no power), then it was visible to the software and it could handle it. With the USB to serial convertor, since it is powered off the controlling computer, there is no visibility into if RoboClaw is plugged in or if it is powered up.

Need to devise a solution that does not negate the work done to shut down the movement in case of too many faults as described in the heartbeat case.

Some of the other changes that I have made in this release have made the situation much better. I will keep it open and see what else needs to be improved.

The application startup remains problematic. It needs to be characterized, debugged and fixed

This issue will be handled comprehensively in issue #9.
