Notes

Please report any problem, as this has not been thoroughly tested and could be improved. This module works outside of D3. It was created for the GoPro Telemetry Extractor

Contribution

Please make your changes to the dev branch, so that automated tests can be run before merging to master. Also, if possible, provide tests for new functionality.
