I upgraded my pacsat test hardware to software version 0.1d.  It didn't
run.  I discovered that the software was hanging up when it tried to
initialize the i2c temp sensor.  That is new in 0.1d.  In
troubleshooting with Chris and Burns we discovered that the calls to the
i2c initialization code were misplaced.  That was fixed and uploaded to
github as version 0.1e.

Version 0.1e runs on my test hardware but gives an i2c error message
every time it attempts to read the temp.  This could be a hardware fault
on my test hardware.  I have checked the temp sensor and all pins seem
to be correctly connected and connectivity of the SDL and SCA lines with
the TMS570 board is OK.  I will be connecting the temp sensor to a
raspberry pi and running tests on that component.

In order to continue to use the test hardware I have commented out
line191 in TelemAndControlTask.c which simply reports an error by
calling debug_print().  Entering 'get temp' on the pacsat console still
shows the error message.

I'm having too much fun!!
