New Routine for handling commands returned from the robot to the phone #21

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

We have commandParse() to deal with incoming commands from the user. Now that 
we're starting to have two-way serial working, we need to have a new routing 
to deal with the responses from the robot. Something like responseParse().

ReaderThead now parses input that contains a ':' and posts values onto the 
whiteboard
which keeps a log of these values. 

For example, if the arduino sends 'dist:10' then the reader thread will split 
it into
'dist' and '10' and store it. To access it, 
sensorHistory = whiteboard['dist']
latestValueAndTime = sensorHistory[0]
value = latestValueAndTime[0]
timeSaved = latestValueAndTime[1]

Whiteboard can be used to store any value.
