To better understand the kind of performance we can expect to get out of our serial communication, we want to measure the rate and consistency of our round-trip serial communication.

[ ] Design test setup
[ ] Build test setup
[ ] Perform tests, characterizing delay and consistency

How long does it take to go from sensor measurement to actuator output?

This will be important to know if we can send motor commands to the firmware from ROScopter, in PASS_THROUGH mode.
