Rovio API C++ Class Library : C++ Interface to Rovio Robot API
Dependancies : OpenCV 2.1 (or later), libCurl 7.18 (or later)

The library is provided as a single C++ source file and header as follows:
- rovio_cc_lib.cc
- rovio_cc_lib.h
The library is documented (i.e. usage how-to) in the header file rovio_cc_lib.h
In addition an example control and image display program for the Rovio is provided as follows:
- rovio_example.cpp
This basic example makes use of some of the library functionality to do basic search and exploration of an environment whilst plotting the wifi signal strength levels (as a simple example).
In addition the library has a seperate test harness as follows:
- testharness.cc
This is designed to exercise each and every method in the library with both valid and invalid options. It is not intended to control the robot in a useful way. Note the on/off test switches (#define TESTHARNESS_ ....) at the top of the file to turn on/off test harness functionality. Use this example to isolate bugs in the library as required.
