// "RUL" output format (for some sort of motion platform)
//
// The Baud rate is 2400 , one start bit, eight data bits, 1 stop bit,
// no parity.
//
// For position it requires a 3-byte data packet defined as follows:
//
// First bite: ascII character "P" ( 0x50 or 80 decimal )
// Second byte X pos. (1-255) 1 being 0* and 255 being 359*
// Third byte Y pos.( 1-255) 1 being 0* and 255 359*
//
// So sending 80 127 127 to the two axis motors will position on 180*
// The RS- 232 port is a nine pin connector and the only pins used are
// 3&5.
