Altitude Encoder Converter - Serial to Parallel Gray Code

I have a friend whose project for the past 15 years has been to build his own airplane. In his case, this is an Europa. The project in the past couple of years has taken shape to be recognizable as an airplane and on a recent visit, the Rotax engine was mounted. Now there is a need to interface the Dynon with a transponder.

My friend tried to build the ATmega based serial to parallel-Gray code converter here: http://www.mail2600.com/EncoderConve...Converter.html but the world has changed a lots since the article was published in 2004 and the author was unable to find his notes on the project- especially the fuses and bootloader specifics. The project was built and programmed, but it did not work. So, I was asked to convert the ATmega to a PICAXE design.

The sample code is located in my blog thread:
