Instructions for running the ADNS3080ImageGrabber.py

1. Start Arduino and upload the AP_OpticalFlow_test.pde to the APM
2. Install Python 2.7 from http://www.python.org/getit/
3. Start the Python IDLE editor
4. File, Open, .../arduino-0022/libraries/AP_OpticalFlow/examples/ADNS3080ImageGrabber/ADNS3080ImageGrabber.py
5. Run, Run Module - the Python Shell and then ADNS3080ImageGrabber applications should appear
6. on the ADNS3080ImageGrabber screen, change the default com port, "COM8" to the correct port (sorry, doesn't auto detect)
7. wait a few moments, then push the Send button to start/stop grabbing images from the sensor (a new image should appear every 2 seconds)

Note: you should see the the AP_OpticalFlow_ADNS3080's menu and any errors appear in the Python Shell
