// The following is based on https://github.com/bird-sanctuary/extended-dshot-telemetry.
// For the following part we explain the bits of Extended DShot Telemetry v2 status telemetry:
// - bits 0-3: the "stress level"
// - bit 5: the "error" bit (e.g. the demag event in Bluejay)
// - bit 6: the "warning" bit (e.g. the desync event in Bluejay)
// - bit 7: the "alert" bit (e.g. the stall event in Bluejay)

// Since logger can read out telemetry values less frequently than they are updated,
// it makes sense to aggregate these status bits, and to collect the maximum observed stress level.
// To reduce the logging rate of the EDT2 messages, we will log them only once something has changed.
// To track this, we are going to (ab)use bit 15 of the field: 1 means there is something to write.

// EDTv2 also features separate "stress" messages.
// These come more frequently, and are scaled differently (the allowed range is from 0 to 255),
// so we have to log them separately.
