Ah okay, so therefore I assume we have to buy some cables, connect them
to the outputs of the receiver, and solder their ends to the PPM
decoder. Seems like a good solution.

Didn't find infrared sensors at any of the vendors listed in the wiki
(aerofu.com, JobyRobotics.com, Olimex, ppzuav, Sparkfun). I'll look for
the replacement sensor heads though.

You are probably right on that one. Up to now, we didn't really care for
all the configuration files etc. because we didn't fix the equipement.

Yes, thanks for the help.
