FrSky FLVS-01 and TAS-01 telemetry sensors support

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi! Thanks for er9x is awesome!

I would be nice to get the readings from the new Lipo Voltage sensor FLVS-01 
and the accelerometer TAS-01 that are connected to the FrSky sensor Hub.

Protocol for FLVS-01 sensor:

The accelerometer readings should be already available in the Hub protocol 
(which I think is already supported by er9x). But this readings currently are 
not shown in the LCD by er9x.

Maybe too much to ask, but would be nice to get two graphical images showing 
current accelerometer aircraft orientation. (like a horizon indicator but with 
two views, rear and lateral). And three bars.
With respect to the Lipo voltage sensor, it would be enough to add a new status 
screen with all the cell voltages. Also would be nice to be able to set some 
alarms on this voltages.

I tried latest trunk version. rev: r677

I know microcontroller programming, but currently I'm out of time, but I can 
test and do small fixes and corrections if necessary.

Currently I have a scarab multiwiicopter Y6, a FlySky th9x with FrSky telemetry 
mod, and a cable to program the 9x. Also I have the following FrSky telemetry 
parts: D8RSP, Sensor hub, GPS, variometer, accelerometer, thermometer, simple 
voltage sensor, and I ordered a FLVS-01 that it's currently on my way. (First 
place I see it avalaible on-line:

All the best,
Federico.

Hi Guys!

I found some time to give partial support to what I previously asked for:

The following patch adds the telemetry status screens for the voltage sensor 
FLVS-01 and for the accelerometer accesory of frsky. There is also two 
additional items in one of the telemetry configuration screens to set a minimum 
battery cell voltage to activate an alarm. Also, to support the FLVS-01 I had 
to upgrade my hub to the newest firmware version. The protocol in this new 
version is extended to cover more data from the hub, but it seems to be 
backwards compatible. Check in Frsky webpage: 
http://www.frsky-rc.com/uploadfile/201107/20110727110301692.pdf and this 
http://www.frsky-rc.com/uploadfile/201111/20111124233818462.pdf. The array 
FrskyHubData had to be expanded to cover the new data of the new protocol. 

Let me know if you need some more modifications to accept this.

Enjoy!
