This is a basic ArNetworking server. It connects to a robot or simulator, including, if available, IRs, gyro, and bumpers. Give the option "-connectLaser" on the command line to enable the laser rangefinder, if available.
Run "./serverDemo -help" for a full list of command line options.
Once running, connect to this server with a a client such as MobileEyes.
This server provides the following services:
Note that this program requires a terminal to run -- i.e. you can't run it in the background in Linux. To modify it to allow that, remove the key handler code in main().
