In Idle and Command mode it is now possible to specify a list of registers which shall be periodically read from the MMU.
To keep the code and RAM size down registers are intentionally separated into 8bit and 16bit sets.
Adding a register into the set is just a matter of parametrization, there is no need to change the state machines anymore.
Because it looks like the communication drop outs are caused by some electrical issues and we can loose even a byte from the version response, which is deadly for future operation.
Communication timeout and Protocol Errors are now distinguished.
In case of a Protocol Error, the printer waits for heartBeatTimeout to allow filling up the input UART buffer (we expect the MMU still produces some bytes).
Once the timeout elapsed, the input UART buffer is cleared and a new Start Sequence is initiated.
