The optional group "SolarGyroGroup" (no quotes, case-sensitive) can be used to redefine what the script thinks is the "main grid." This is useful for sub-grid panels.

To use this feature, be sure to create the group "SolarGyroGroup" around your reference block (if you have one), all of your gyros, and the solar panels. Having extra blocks in the group doesn't hurt.

Now displays its status (what you see in the terminal when you select the PB) on the PB's screen. Just set the PB's main display to "image and text" if you want to see it.

There's a quick way to redirect it to other blocks/screens, but that will have to be documented another time.

Add "togglesolar" command to toggle between active & paused.

The "resume" & "pause" commands remain.

Keen's (old) gyro API was changed from rad/s to RPM. Adapt internal API accordingly.

Fix breakage due to center of mass switching from Vector3D to Vector3I in "stable." Thanks, Keen!

Scripts have had the ability to directly read max power from solar panels for a month now, apparently. Use that instead of parsing detail info.
