tutorial_client.cpp

Construct a basic INDI client that demonstrates INDI::Client capabilities. This client must be used with tutorial_three device "Simple CCD". To run the example, you must first run tutorial_three:

indiserver tutorial_three 

Then in another terminal, run the client:

tutorial_client 

The client will connect to the CCD driver and attempts to change the CCD temperature.
