This is our dissector for the protocol of the packets sent to the Parrot AR
Drone (http://ardrone.parrot.com/parrot-ar-drone/usa/), a commercial
quad-copter that is controlled through your iOS or Android device. It dissects
9 of the drones commands, which are:

AT*REF      - mode arguments such as takeoff, landing, and emergency stop
AT*PCMD     - arguments that control the moment of the drone
AT*FTRIM    - sets the reference for horizontal plane
AT*CONFIG   - configuration of the drone
AT*LED      - LED animation information
AT*ANIM     - animation, duration arguments to set a flight animation
AT*COMWDG   - resets the communication watchdog
AT*CONFIGID - identifies session information
AT*CTRL     - used for firmware updates

This dissector has been developed on Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit with gcc and had also
been installed on Windows 7 64 bit. I have tested the dissector using randpkt
and editcap and its does not crash Wireshark. It does however give malformed
packets. I know this is the intent of this testing but I do not know if the
dissector needs to handle these malformed packets in a special way. 
This is my first time submitting anything to a project like this so I apologize
if this is not professional grade. If it is  not just tell me what I can do to
make it better and I will do my best! I hope this can be a meaningful addition
to Wireshark.
