% GCSCONTROL
%  This class allows the user to send 4-axis stick commands to OpenPilot
%  GCS.
%
% Create class by
%    control = GCSControl
%
% Open connection by 
%    control.connect('01.23.45.67', 89)
% where the first value is the IP address of the computer running GCS and
% the second value is the port on which GCS is listening.
%
% Send command by
%    control.command(pitch, yaw, roll, throttle)
% where all variables are between [-1,1]
%
% Close connection by
%    control.close()
