- Add support for EasyMega boards.

- Make the APRS SSID be configurable. This lets you track

- Report extra pyro channel continuity state on EasyMega and
- TeleMega via the beeper. This lets you easily verify flight

- Add lower telemetry data rates (2400 and 9600 bps) to

- </p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
- Change TeleGPS to have only a single log, and append new

- Continuously test pyro firing conditions during delay stage,
