Revision A0
Initial release of BeagleBone Robo Cape

Getting Started
Standard setup:
 * Assembled Robo Cape
 * A BeagleBone Black
 * A 5V DC power supply (recommended 5V @ 2A)
 * 12V-36V motor voltage supply

Signal Usage
The BeagleBone Robo Cape uses the following signals:
 * DGND
 * VDD_3V3B
 * VDD_5V
 * PWR_BUT (A1 only)
 * SYS_RESETn (A1 only)
 * I2C2_SCL
 * I2C2_SDA
