Research direction

Start in test/test-device-ping360.cpp at the linked example and review the Ping-protocol v1.1 auto-transmission documentation. Add a protocol-capability check so unsupported devices use only manual messages, then verify the example's behavior for devices that do and do not support the relevant messages.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Ping-protocol v1.1 introduced support for auto transmission for the ping360 message set, which our example uses without checking that the device is capable of handling and sending the relevant messages.

Ideally it should check the protocol version and fall back to only manual messages if relevant.
