### Events with payload
If the event has some parameter associated (a typical example is a remote command from the ground station) the event has to be manually instanciated

## Troubleshooting
Check all the following points before beating your head against the wall :)
- Call the `.start()` method on all the `FSM` subclasses used and on `sEventBroker`:
