Base algorithm added for channel count auto detection in the decoder himself.
Replaced the #define for PPM_CHx_CHANNELS by PPM_CHx_MAX_CHANNELS.
Channel count #define was not needed anymore thanks to the channel count auto detection.
Channel detection post processing to do.
Changes included:
Removing earth frame roll_rate_trim, pitch_rate_trim and yaw_rate_trim.
Switch ACRO mode to use YAW_ACRO instead of YAW_HOLD.
Changed YAW_ACRO to use stabilize yaw when axis_enabled.
Reset ACRO roll, pitch and yaw targets to current attitude when first entering ACRO.
Work in progress on a new Redundancy dual PPM sum mode for PPM encoder.
- New library PPM_Encoder_v3.h and new manual manual_v3.txt
- New format conversion capability between input and output PPM frame timings and channel count.
This will be experimental until heavily tested. The main goal is to allow the use of low cost satellite receivers in a high safety setup, and allow a new teacher / student RC mode without link between the two pilot transmitters.
The barometer reads including reading temperature was all moved to a timer but this extra read (originally to read the temperature) was probably forgotten.

Michael,
Per our discussion today,
In a MAVLINK_MSG_ID_COMMAND_LONG
A MAV_CMD of type MAV_CMD_COMPONENT_ARM_DISARM
with component id MAV_COMP_ID_SYSTEM_CONTROL = 250,
uses param index 1 to specify an arm/disarm motors event: 1 to arm,
0 to disarm
Thanks for working this out with me. Sorry to get it so completely
wrong the first time around!
Best
Pat
Semaphore can be null, handled correctly if it is. Rather than check for
which SPI bus the sensor is using, just check whether semaphore is not null
before using it. More general and flexible.
