Description: Overview
        ========
        
        This Python package provides an interface to Parker Hannifin Gemini
        stepper/servo motor drives.
        
        .. note::
           
           Only the ASCII protocol is supported at this time, meaning that only
           newer GV6 and GT6 drives are supported.
        
        The package's documetation is found at
        http://pythonhosted.org/GeminiMotorDrive/
        
        The package's source code is found at

        Installation
        ============
        
        This package requires Python >= 3.0 at this time. It still needs
        additional development to support Python 2.7 and 2.6.
        
        This package requires the serial package.
        
        To install GeminiMotorDrive, download the package and run the command::
        
            python3 setup.py install

        ===================
        
        As of 2016-02-12, I (Freja Nordsiek) no longer have access to a Gemini
        stepper/servo motor. Thus, I can no longer continue development of this
        project other than fixing obvious small bugs. If someone is interested
        in taking over this package, please contact me.
        
        Versions
        ========
        
        0.2. Major release changing many things.
             * Changed license from 2-clause BSD to Apache 2.0.
             * Major API rewrite - breaks compatability with 0.1.x versions.
             * Main module split into several submodules.
             * ``GeminiG6`` and ``LinearMotorGV6`` classes combined together
               as ``GeminiG6`` and several of its methods split off into their
               own classes in the submodules.
             * A lot of documentation added.
        
        0.1.1. Bugfix release fixing one bug.
               * Fixed bug in how ``GeminiG6.move_time`` calculated the time
                 a movement would take in the case that the drive cannot reach
                 its maximum velocity in the motion.
        
        0.1. Initial version.
