All commands return promises.

Example usage, point upwards, then stop after 300ms and shoot:

const missile = require('node-missile')

missile.connect().then(launcher => {
  console.log('connected');

  return launcher.up()
    .then(() => {
      console.log('moving up...');

      setTimeout(() => {
        console.log('fireing!');

        launcher.stop()
          .then(() => launcher.fire())
          .catch(console.error);
      }, 300);
    });
}).catch(console.error);
