How to use the Kondo KRS ICS Servos robot skill

Control Kondo KRS smart servos with ICS 2 & 3.5 Protocol over the EZB UART.

We cannot verify this works because we do not have servo hardware to test with. This plugin is in response to a community thread regarding Kondo servos.

*Note: This is experimental

The servos can be chained together and connected to the EZ-B's UART #1 on port D5. The baud rate must also be configured in the settings of the plugin. Each virtual port can be selected for the communication version based on the servo model. The Max Positions are unknown values to me when creating the plugin. Much experimenting from the user is required.
