Hi,

Perhaps someone can help or orient me: I am developing an autonomous UAV using the new X-3D UFO quadrotor and the MNAV-Stargate autopilot. In order to interface the MNAV and Stargate to X-UFO board, I need to generate a PPM signal. the objective is to encode the control inputs (computed by the autopilot) in a PPM signal which will be decoded by the X-UFO to derive motors, i.e.,
MNAV --> Stargate --> PPM signal --> X-3D UFO aircraft

Does any one have experience in generating a PPM signal? Is there any code to program the PPM function on Stargate? Are there some examples about generating the PPM signal by other microcontrollers?

Please, help me.
