[oopic] Re: OOPIC C1+ Firmware

No, I am using a Futaba Transmitter/Receiver. The output is a servo
timed pulse though so it should work. I need to hook both channels
up to a scope to see if there is seperation between them but either
way, a single channel should have worked with oRCIn (It works with
oPulseTimeH). I only needed two channels so I used three transistors
to build a quick and dirty multiplexer (1 Select, 1 Output, 2 Inputs)
and the PIC picks which one it wants to read, resets the pulsetimer,
waits for a new pulse, and continues.
