GCS TODO

• Find way to calculate payload orientation and use it to set compass direction
• test with actual sensor readings from our flight software
• GCS xbee can just use AT mode since it only communicates with container, but container need to be in API mode
  • add support for more states in GCS

GCS

Ground Control Software Local Test Suite

The values generated by the Local Test Suite aren't at all realistic, it just gives us a way to confirm our widgets are updating
