Stages and filter wheels

Stages and filter wheels are controlled by apps derived from the stdMotionStage implementation, meaning they share some common properties and options.

filterWheelCtrl

filterWheelCtrl controls an MCBL 3006S based filter wheel for MagAO-X. As of Dec, 2018, there are 6 such wheels in MagAO-X. This program communicates with the MCBL 3006S controller via USB. It monitors the position and motion status of the wheel, and via INDI accepts commands to home and change wheel position.
