+/* PPM reader by John Wolter from RC_Simulator by Jafar Qutteineh*/
+/* This program takes the PPM Signal (Pulse Position Modulation) from your RC transmitter.  Includes a calibration routine
+   for 
+*/
+   
+/*Setup: Just connect the GND and PPM signal of your transmitter to the GND and P11 respectively.
+         Put a switch between P5 and Vout for calibration mode.*/
+
+/*How it works: 
+    -A PPM signal is a stream of low (0V) and high (5V) inputs which indicate the value of multiple channels.  
+    -The PPM signal consists of a bunch of variable length low pulses separated by fixed length high pulses (or vice versa).
+    -A set of pulses which represent one set of channel values is called a frame.
+    -The overall length of the frame is fixed (20 ms for example).
+    -The value of each channel is determined by the length of its pulse. (0.5 to 1.5 ms for example)
+    -The end of the frame is filled with a variable length pulse to fill the frame.  This pulse is much longer than the 
+     channel pulses so that it acts at the marker for the start of a new frame
+    -A single pin is configured as InturreptIn pin. whenever the PPM signal goes down Inturrept SignalRise() or SignalFall() is fired.
+    -SignalRise or SignalFall keep track of timing:
+        a) If Pulse width is <300 uS it's most probably a glitch.
+        b) If pulse width is >300 uS but less than < 2000 uS this is a correct channel. Read it and wait for next channel
+        c) If Pulse width is >MinSync uS this is a new frame, start again.
+        d) Timing will be different from transmitter to another, you may want to play a little bit here
