Feature request
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The ESC I was using was having some initialization issues with the standard PWM implementation for the BeagleBone Blue PRU. I had to connect it after the board had been booted. This is a nuisance and DShot is nicer anyway :).
Describe the solution you'd like I'd prefer to use DShot, I have patches for implementing DShot output that work on the BeagleBone Blue PRU and should work on others in the family as well. I will upload them once I've tested them more thoroughly as they're in a pretty rough state right now. I'll do most of the work here, I'd just like to make sure the code is available to the community and possibly uplifted into the repo if it's of sufficient quality.
Describe alternatives you've considered As said, the alternative was to connect the ESC and the BeagleBone Blue after the board had started. I found this solution on the forums as I heard of some other people dealing with this, but this solution is much nicer!
