+VARIO XCTRACK
+arduino nano with ftdi chip, all other chip will not work
+sensor ms5611
+damien varrel 09/2018

+Based on Arduino Vario by Benjamin PERRIN 2017 / Vari'Up
+Based on Arduino Vario by Jaros, 2012 and vario DFelix 2013

+$LK8EX1,pressure,altitude,vario,temperature,battery,*checksum
+
+Field 0, raw pressure in hPascal:
+  hPA*100 (example for 1013.25 becomes  101325) 
+  no padding (987.25 becomes 98725, NOT 098725)
+  If no pressure available, send 999999 (6 times 9)
+  If pressure is available, field 1 altitude will be ignored
+
+Field 1, altitude in meters, relative to QNH 1013.25
+  If raw pressure is available, this value will be IGNORED (you can set it to 99999
+  but not really needed)!
+  (if you want to use this value, set raw pressure to 999999)
+  This value is relative to sea level (QNE). We are assuming that
+  currently at 0m altitude pressure is standard 1013.25.
+  If you cannot send raw altitude, then send what you have but then
+  you must NOT adjust it from Basic Setting in LK.
+  Altitude can be negative
+  If altitude not available, and Pressure not available, set Altitude
+  to 99999  (5 times 9)
+  LK will say "Baro altitude available" if one of fields 0 and 1 is available.
+
+Field 2, vario in cm/s
+  If vario not available, send 9999  (4 times 9)
+  Value can also be negative
+
+Field 3, temperature in C , can be also negative
+  If not available, send 99
+
+Field 4, battery voltage or charge percentage
+  Cannot be negative
+  If not available, send 999 (3 times 9)
+  Voltage is sent as float value like: 0.1 1.4 2.3  11.2 
+  To send percentage, add 1000. Example 0% = 1000
+  14% = 1014 .  Do not send float values for percentages.
+Percentage should be 0 to 100, with no decimals, added by 1000!
