Dear all,

in case someone here learns to fly with simulators or is looking for a tool to perform diagnostics on timing data created by his PPM transmitter:

As what I have found so far as microcontroller based FMS serial interfaces based on AVR controllers appeared a bit simplistic, I have built a bit more feature rich version which can:

* Generate both 0xF0 9K6 and 0xFF 19K2 protocols understoof by FMS and other programs
* Runs on minimal hardware (low cost ATMEGA8 chip)
* Optionally runs through USB
* Has bootloading capabilities (so new software versions can be flashed on the fly)
* Has a diagnostic mode that displays microsecond timigs of your PPM transmitter that update themselves continuously in a terminal emulation program
* Can calibrate itself to your individual transmitter
* Automatically adapts to positive or negative PPM logic
* Has an extensively documented sourcecode

Documentation and sourcecode can be found at
