Detailed Description
A nice little MotionCommand for manually manipulating the PID values.This will, by default, autoprune after its PID values have been set.
Although this doesn't handle directly sending PID commands to the system (the MotionManager::updatePIDs() does that) a little documentation on how Tekkotsu ad OPEN-R handle the PIDs might be nice.
In Tekkotsu, each of P,I, and D are a single floating point number. However, OPEN-R has, in essence, a limited precision floating point number. Each value is broken into a gain (mantissa) and shift (exponent). The shifts appear to be 4 bit values, and are inverted. In other words, x = g/(1<<(0x10-s)), or 
The gain is probably 6-8 bits of resolution.
On the ERS-2xx series, each joint is completely independent. One caveat is that the shift value 0x0A gives a warning (AGRMSDriver::SetGain() : 0x0A IS USED FOR GAIN SHIFT VALUE.) for some unknown reason.
On the ERS-7, all the joints share the last set shift values, so a global set of shifts must be enforced. This of course, pretty much kills the whole point of having the shifts.
To understand the conversion from Tekkotsu format to the OPEN-R format, see MotionManager::updatePIDs().
A final note: the OPENR::SetJointGain function seems to be a rather costly function call. You should probably try to avoid setting PIDs at too high a frequency.
