Should I update my APM with the newer PPM encoder before installing ver. 3.0.1 firmware? Note: I purchased Ardupilot Mega 2.5+ before March 1.
Thanks.

Hi All. How can I check which version I have? There´s no clear answer anywhere. Thanks a lot!
Another issue but unrelated to ver 3.0.1
Some RC transmitter/receivers (Futaba, Spektrum DX8) with more than 6 channels cannot be decoded reliably with the older PPM firmware. Has to do with overlapping PCM signals and interrupt handling. The new firmware corrects this. Symptoms with older firmware are random glitches on some channels. Best to upgrade if you are using more than 6 channels.
