/*
 * PPM decoder tuning parameters.
 *
 * The PPM decoder works as follows.
 *
 * Initially, the decoder waits in the UNSYNCH state for two edges
 * separated by PPM_MIN_START.  Once the second edge is detected,
 * the decoder moves to the ARM state.
 *
 * The ARM state expects an edge within PPM_MAX_PULSE_WIDTH, being the
 * timing mark for the first channel.  If this is detected, it moves to
 * the INACTIVE state.
 *
 * The INACTIVE phase waits for and discards the next edge, as it is not
 * significant.  Once the edge is detected, it moves to the ACTIVE stae.
 *
 * The ACTIVE state expects an edge within PPM_MAX_PULSE_WIDTH, and when
 * received calculates the time from the previous mark and records
 * this time as the value for the next channel.
 *
 * If at any time waiting for an edge, the delay from the previous edge
 * exceeds PPM_MIN_START the frame is deemed to have ended and the recorded
 * values are advertised to clients.
