Remove IgH EtherCAT dependency #1

Closed patrickfuller closed 8 years ago

patrickfuller commented 8 years ago

This library is overkill for the driver, especially because flow controllers don't need millisecond-level control (the mechanical response time on the controller is ~100ms).

By constructing the frames ourselves, we can remove the dependency and simplify the install process.
